A collection of poems (loosely) inspired by the ancient Chinese classic I Ching (Book Of Changes). These are not translations or paraphrases, and no special knowledge of the I Ching is required. These poems simply use the hexagrams of the I Ching as points of departure for original compositions. Each poem explores the concept introduced by a hexagram, with solid lines of the latter being represented by solid nine-syllable lines of text, and broken lines by lines of text divided into two halves of four syllables each.
"Tortoise Dances is a unique book of poetry...The poems are thought provoking...Dennis Goza offers an interesting collection of poetry that is both entertaining and inspiring."
