About this title

From the Author:

I was very pleased when Publisher's Weekly described this book as "Charles Sullivan's brilliant selection of poetry and art."  That's how I see it, mostly, but not all readers or critics would agree.  What do you think?  How about adding your own review of Imaginary Gardens, to share your thoughts with others?
