""David Rosen: physician, psychologist, poet, gardener, is most of all a man who has reached maturity with wisdom and compassion for the earth and its beings. This is evident in poems such as: 'Distant sawyer . / in the garden: / artichokes & roses.' Human endeavor splinters reality and opens a chasm between itself and nature's selfless bounty of food and beauty. Thus, in a few insightful words Rosen illustrates the schism that separates man and nature. What more can we ask of a poet?"" --Joel Weishaus, co-author of The Healing Spirit of Haiku ""I highly recommend this collection of tiny gems. They are a remarkable example of how much meaning and joy can come from a few carefully crafted words placed together. David Rosen's interpretation of the world in front of him is unique and often humorous.

Readers will undoubtedly enjoy many more of his insights from Warming to Gold."" --Shelley Baker-Gard, Regional Coordinator--Oregon, Haiku Society of America.
