From the Four Chambered Heart: In tribute to Anais Nin brings together a diverse mixture of writers, poets, and artists whose work has been inspired by the words and the life of Anais Nin. Frank William Finney's poem 'Anais Nin Waves by the Waves" is reprinted in this anthology.
I’m a sucker and a stickler for titles, so many of the ones in this collection pleased me: “Anais Nin Waves by the Waves,” [by Frank William Finney] “My Soul as Jaguar,” “Blonde in a Red Tunnel,” “Nin and Kafka Drinking Absinthe” and “Fever 2012,” to name some. And my favorite pieces include Ruth Nolan’s “Forbidden Fruit,” M. Justine Gerard’s dripping “Anni and the Order of Perfectibilis” (rating: five fingers up!), John FitzGerald’s “Five,” Marie Lecrivain’s “My Soul as Jaguar” and Pam Ward’s “Anais’s Husband.”

Frank William Finney's playful poem starts, "Waves roll their eyes"; John Fitzgerald's symbolic word fest is introducted "Love is one."; and Alex S. Johnson's initial pithy metaphor declares "I am a bow of my art." And don't skip over the three prose writers who approximate most closely Nin's Delta Of Venus: M. Justine Gerard, Alystyre Julian, and D.L. Warner. from a book review by Don Kingfisher Campbell, editor of the San Gabriel Valley Poetry Quarterly .
