"A collection of restful and uplifting poems . . . . Over and over, I was drawn by a gentle guidance into swirling autumn leaves, dances with the stars, infinite love, and sunset clouds. Gary . . . excels in graceful, artistic verses that capture an idea instantly. . . . The strength of Clouds: On the Wind is the sheer beauty of the world it pulls you into and the happy spirit with which you leave it. The book deserves a lot of praise." ★★★★★ Readers' Favorite, Review By Sarah Scheele
"A contemplative collection of poems that have a calming . . .effect on the reader. . . . This rhythmic collection of poems is evocative . .. . The visualizations of nature, love, harmony, calmness, contemplation, warmth, and other emotions stand out starkly in the poet's delightful and tightly knitted poems. This zen-like and tranquil collection (has) a meditative effect on readers. The poet . . . conveys a lot in a few sentences. . . . There is so much depth and profundity in the poet's words. " ★★★★★ Readers' Favorite, Review By Mamta Madhavan
"Everything about these poems is designed to let the reader fall into the gentle cadence of them and just be. This volume of poems is a keeper . . . and will be on my bed stand for a poem to read when I need a moment to breathe." ★★★★★ Readers' Favorite, Review by Kathryn Bennett
"Another lovely book of poetry by Gary Burns, adding another naturalistic collection to his oeuvre. Splitting the collection into four parts was an ingenious idea by Burns, as it has the effect of moving the reader through space, from night into day, as if on a gust of wind. What Burns does so effectively in this collection, and in his other works, is weave the natural with the spiritual, offering a profound appreciation of both the material and non-material world."
