Footprints in the Mind

Although there are indeed some corny poems in the book, a majority of the poems are very touching. If you really enjoy contemporary poetry and can read in between the lines of poems, you'll love this book. It can have very lasting impacts on your own personal ethical framework and the very way you live your entire life.

This book is just wonderful! Anyone can read this poetry and relate to it. All of the poems capture the love gained and lost when you give your heart to someone. A great gift for that special someone or-- inspirational words that will encourage anyone to follow their heart.

Having enjoyed and shared Javan's books for many years I was upset to read the preceding review. However, both his words and the attacking tone of his comments indicate this person has serious problems. I think the review says more about the reviewer than it does about Javan's books. He was right about one thing, Javan's books are not literary poetry. They are short reflections on our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world we live in. They are not only beautiful and easy to understand, but as indicated by several hundred people who have signed the guestbook on Javan's website they are especially helpful when things are going bad.

until your copy has worn out and you have to buy another. And then you'll give that one to someone special. And then your next one you'll give to your best friend. Or your brother. Javan's books are precious.

Javan is probably the greatest poet today. His poetry is simple and heart-warming. His words will help you understand about pain and what it is to be human. No poet has been able to tell us in many words what he can in just a few. Thanks Javan!
