cover of Condensed Matter and Other States of Mind, the new chapbook of poetry by Douglas A Fowler

"Doug Fowler illuminates a poignant world on the margins where fish-moths, a perambulating cat, and False Lupines rustle among the broken asphalt, and a pie-carousel lurches into rotation in a hushed café."         Mary Carey, writer for the Daily Hampshire Gazette

"Traveling cross-country or in his backyard, Doug Fowler sees lovingly every whisper of life from hard rock to soft flowers, from reliable laws of nature to the randomness of spilled coffee." Teresa Saska, analyst, photographer

"Doug Fowler transforms the mundane into the profound in his isightful irst collection. I highly recommend this excellent book."  Leah Maines, author of Beyond the River


Arya Francesca Breton-Jenkins Aham has also written a review.
