Reading Seashells and Sand Castles is like getting postcards from a friend. Jeffrey Niehaus has an uncommon way of finding wonder in unfamiliar scenes and revived memories, and taking this journey through his eyes is a gift. . . . This is why we read poetry. We want to be transported, however briefly, to somewhere else. Images imprinted, scents conjured, sounds made by weaving words into picture, all join to present stories--each one an invitation to a strange or newly familiar place. --Karen B. Romant, Founder, Parrish Playworks, Inc.
