 “A master of his own invention, Peter Jastermsky takes us on an adventurous ride with just a few  words, linking and shifting, treading the paths of reflection, retrospection, mid-life crisis, aging, last loves, hope, and many more. into the stillness is a book you will want to read again and  again, not only to learn the “secret” to writing split sequences, but also to be still and to be swept away to dream and imagine.”

—Christine L. Villa (Editor, Frameless Sky
