As I read Don Kingfisher Campbell’s collection of his published poems, Planet of the Oreos, I discovered versatility in his poetry I overlooked before. His poems vary in style, subject matter, and form. He can be lyrical or narrative, or both. On top of that, they are much deeper and more complex than they seem at first glance. They are not merely about the everyday subjects their titles may suggest—modern relationships, planets, brownies, what have you—but the human condition underneath those things which is unique and relatable at the same time. Mr. Campbell is an unparalleled poetic spirit whose works can be appreciated by those who are willing to delve into them. -- Jackie Chou
