Poetry. Don Wentworth composes poems that he refers to as "brief, haiku-like pieces with a distinctly Eastern feel, yet firmly grounded in everyday life." PAST ALL TRAPS is his first full-length collection.
"Wentworth practices in a great and rare tradition. It is not (so much) a tradition of form; rather it is a tradition of essential knowing. Knowing what the haiku masters knew, knowing what the handful of masters of the short poem in the Occident have known: that life itself is fleeting, is short, and yet there has neer been, nor will there ever be, anything else but life."—Charlie "Scarecrow" Mehrhoff
