Review of I Dreamt I Was Water:
“One is struck immediately and consistently by the rhythm of these lines. It’s as if the Heart of the Natural World dreamt it was a poem and spoke in this poet’s tongue.
If Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver, and Wendell Berry had a band, Bob Perry would be its drummer.”
Wayne-Daniel Berard, author, poet, co-host of Pour Me a Poem, Mansfield, MA.
