“I couldn't say enough about CJ's ability to touch the very core of a relationship, person or situation.  I was fortunate enough to read many poems of CJ's before he surprised my husband and I with ours.  Whether it is comedy, sincerity or love you are searching to portray, CJ is an unbelievable poet.  Each poem is unique, I read no two even similar, that is what make them so special.  The difference between him and many other poets is that he takes the time to learn about the people his poems are for or about.  I really can't say enough about how incredible his talent is.”

“I have received several poems from CJ...each one brings a everlasting smile to my face. His poetry is something that brings back memories and brings out the true meaning of love, life, family and friends. He has written beautiful pieces for my wedding, the holidays and the return of my brother from Iraq. Each of these events are incredibly important and memorable times in my life...these poems are placed throughout my home to always have a reminder of those special events.”
