From the Heart of a Man

"Wonderful! Reminded me of one of my favorite compilations by Leonard Cohen and I thought he was a genius. Loved the mixture of passages, poetry, the variety, the sensuality...wow... took my breath away. For a man to express himself like this is an unexpected treat. This book is truly one of a kind!" JJ Kennedy, MS/LMFT - Radio Personality - New York, NY

"Mizuno gives an intense account of manly desires. His stories are divided by beautiful fine-line images of lovers and touching poems with lines like, '... a cloud-like latte of tiny bubbles.' His voice reveals the ecstasy of a desire-filled teenager and the sensual expressions of Rumi. The book is positive and uplifting, and it is obvious to any reader that he adores and respects women. Bravo to Rick Mizuno for this ecstatic, sexy, sweet book." Marcielle Brandler, Educator/Producer and Author of The Breathing House: Imagist Poems - Pasadena, CA

An amazingly gifted writer, Rick's ability to create vivid images and articulate his inner feelings is a sensuous blend of simple eloquence and unabashed raw passion. As you read each original piece, you will begin to sense a personal connection with each passionate expression. Such a book as this may very well secure an endearing place on your bedside table.
