Scott R. Stahlecker

Author of Picking Wings Off Butterflies. Review of Seven Luminous Paths;




"Tom Rubens has taught language and literature for most of his life and written in genres ranging from fiction, to philosophical essays, to poetry. With the publication of Seven Luminous Paths his skills and experiences all fuse together to produce an insightful collection.




If I only had two words to describe the poetry selected for this collection, I'd offer these: effortless / depth. Meaning, that whether you are new to reading poetry or consider yourself a veteran of the genre, there is an ease to reading Rubens's poems that defies their veiled insights into human nature."
