"Aquiver of eclogues, couplets, Zen epigrams, and you-name-it literary mischief. The fun is all ours."Foreword Reviews

"Mott's whiplash insights are as provocative as coiled springs." -Douglas Crase

"Mott's lyrical antics embody poetry at its most earnest and parodic, a deadly potion stolen from the fountain of imagination." -Yunte Huang

Glenn Mott's Eclogues recast a classic pastoral form, making it uniquely suited to our times. He considers the inheritance of authority with a mixture of candor and humor in observations on social, natural, and metaphysical transactions. Inspired by China's Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden, these epigrams, poems, and prose meditations achieve a heightened perception, transcending the garden variety truths of both East and West.
