Poetry. Jaffin's new book is his seventh in a remarkable series of annual collections since he returned to writing poetry in the mid-1990s. Of Jaffin and the trademark short-lined lyricism of his previous books such as THROUGH LOST SILENCES, Edward Batley of the University of London writes, "Succinct and challenging enforcers of new insights and deeper understanding, his poems soar in far higher realms than those of prosaic description and rational analysis. Their hallmark, the unexpected, unnatural and natural sentence-, line- and word-breaks, disrupts habitual ways of thought, catches in the act of thinking as in the act of breathing, envisioning the variegated immediacies of higher meaning. There is sincerity and conviction in Jaffin's crisp, multisensory poeticisation of ideas.
