On 40 Feet Down:
"These poems are absolutely wonderful to read, ripping along suffused with well digested lit references and cany wisdom which NOBODY ever thought would be said of Dougie Padilla Bad Boy." - Jim Lenfestey, author of Seeking the Cave, A Pilgrimage to Cold Mountain and Into the Goodhue County Jail
From "this morning my hands are made of light": "so i am passing on my knowledge of water, / i am passing water thru my hands, passing / my hands through angels, passing / my hands thru angels. / this morning my hands are made of light. / and light is water.
