The deep touch

"The Deep Touch" explores the creative act and the source of ideation as the process of connectivity and juxtaposition leading to cosmic consciousness. It is an adventure into the unknown where mind leaves the here and now for the province of a parabola of time. In this poetic work, author Dean C. Gardner employs innovative wordplay and vivid imagery to explore nonbeing . "The Deep Touch" is a quest for understanding in the face of the unknown, as an overture in the form and substance of postmodern thought.

Dean C. Gardner studied with Dr. Campbell Tatham, a phenomenologist, at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee for eight years, endowing him with the discipline to probe the unknown. Another foundation for his books is the work of traditional haiku poets, including Basho, Bucson and Issa - which led to Gardner's understanding of the Zen experience as the poetic leap in Western literature. Gardner is a Christian phenomenologist.
