Melanesian Beauty

"...like all poets, Jordan Dean has a sentimental soul and this collection of musings, thoughts, meditations and observations reflects his gentle, romantic view of the world and his willingness to take his time and make the time to observe, absorb, reflect and record what he sees and feels in sometimes simple, but always special poems. He also has the courage to experiment with different forms and styles and displays a special gift in his Tok Pisin haiku. This is not a collection to be read from cover to cover. Each of the poems stands on its own and deserves to be read or spoken aloud individually, with care and reflection, as the poet intended."- Ed Brumby, Applied Linguist
