A charming and delightful experience

The wizard and the wrench beautifully captures the spirit of two Dynamic and interesting Souls through a variety of engaging poetry and wonderfully performed readings. Not only is this book a joy to listen to, it truly takes you on a one of a kind imaginative Journey, a feat rarely achieved in today's world. I would highly recommend you check out this fantastic piece of work!

Opposites Blend Perfectly In Distinct Voices

Love, love, love this audiobook! The contrast of the voices—Ambika, sweet, gentle, feminine and Dominic, commanding, gravelly, masculine—in the perfect clash of spiritual and earthy, come together in this collaborative work of poetry in Ambika's words "as a congruent paradox of ascending imagery" and "a sound salad of rich textural syllabic molecules." Absolutely captivating! Don't read this, you must listen to the audiobook to appreciate how the spiritualist and the auto mechanic in their opposites create a beautiful mosaic that blends in its sentiment but is distinct in its voice.

The subjects are simple but the heartfelt, eloquent, sensory imagery is astounding. Ambika describes in psychical concepts, whereas Dominic's descriptions are more grounded.

Here are some poem titles: Seasonal Affective Disorder, Bryan's Jeans, Down in the Basement, My Nana, The Reason, Grey Wolf, Crayons.

Examples of Ambika's thoughts:
I Have Seen It-(About the existence of God) "I feel your presence and love in everything, everywhere, omnificent, eternal. I see you."
In The Roses (Comparison of rain falling on the roses and feelings of love) " We go beyond the boundaries of so many lifetimes. In your eyes I experience all the scenery.You are soothing me with your touch. You are always with me but it is in the roses that we are eternal."
Out To Moon River "Air acrid tasting of oysters and marsh grasses...crunchy shells that grind the past from a secret garden."

Examples of Dominic's thoughts:
There-"One person in two bodies."
Reach-"All that's needed is a bigger ladder or a softer heart."
Last Night-"You are the reason fruit stays juicy."
