Best Of Cashwell
Synopsis:

From his "Where Purple Shadows Fall" one is quick to
recognize that Cashwell's verse is a vivid testimony to
various aspects of his biographical itinerary. For it is within  
his prose poems that he traces most eloquently an outline of
his life's journey.

Then comes the shocking realization that there is measured,
rhythmic, free verse alongside Haiku all joined under one
cover-- the cover of a new Bard rising in Northeastern North
Carolina. Perhaps the last of the Great Epic Poem Writers.
