Expecting Hands

“I wish to share my passion for the arts, opinions and personal philosophy, dreams, as well as life’s up and downs.” - John Sozanski

“I roared through the book; I couldn’t put it down…. The poem sequence that powerfully tells a challenging and emotional life story … vividly revealing how an immigrant adjusts to a new country. Stark honesty blended with humor is striking.” – Ray Greenblatt, poet, teacher, writer

“Delightful and witty/sardonic…Cy’s Revenge is excellent.” – Peter MacMillan, poet, professor at Kyorin University, Tokyo

“Gripping with riveting imagery…it flows great without traditional pauses and end stops.” – Ken Pobo, poet, professor emeritus at Widener University

A percentage of the sale proceeds will go towards UA World Art Fund, a non-profit foundation designed to support Ukraine through the development of its artists.
