Facing High Water

“These poems shine with a Taoist sensibility and the wisdom and simplicity of self. John Brandi, as a traveler throughout Asia and the Americas, gives us the artist’s heightened sensitivity and clarity of detail; and poems of rare precision, charm and truth.”—Joanne Kyger, author of About Now

From the Himalayas, Angkor Wat, the barrios of Old Havana, the highlands of Chiapas, and the streets of New York, John Brandi’s poems lead us toward rapport with the natural world and our own inner landscapes.

John Brandi is a poet, writer, and artist. He is the author of thirty-eight books of poetry and nonfiction.
