Praise for Blackberries in the Dream House
"With poetic language that gracefully reveals the vibrant,
lush world of Kyoto to the reader, Frank gracefully tells the
story of two lovers eternally bound by fate and time."
Booklist:
Kristine Huntley, Reviewer
"
Blackberries in the Dream House is an elegiac and erotic tale
about the forbidden love between a geisha and a Buddhist monk
named Kenji in Kyoto, Japan a century and a half ago. ... "Blackberries" concerns
the deepest meaning of love. Filled with the sensual delights
of two bodies in love, this novel flows with color and texture."
Santa Cruz Sentinel:
Chris Watson, Book Editor
“
What would happen to us if we were to undertake the discipline
of turning our life entirely and self-consciously, into a poem?
Through Yukiko, who becomes both a contemplative Buddhist and
a geisha skilled in the refinements of sensuous pleasure, Diane
Frank allows us to live within the soul of a young woman who
has undertaken to create a life imagined and expressed as a poem,
in every moment, waking and sleeping, making love or meditating.
With its power of language, Blackberries in the Dream House will
seduce many readers into considering whether a prosaic life is
the only choice we have.”
Pierre DeLattre
Author of Walking on Air and Tales of a Dalai Lama
“
Diane Frank's exquisite sensibility manifests throughout in Blackberries
in the Dream House; it is both erotic and metaphysical. In fact,
her great strength is that for her there's no division between
the two. The result is this fine lyrical novel.”
Stephen Dunn
Pulitzer Prize Winning Poet
“
Blackberries in the Dream House is written in beautiful prose,
like linear poetry. This novel is carefully crafted, full of
exotic images, very soft, no hard edges, just beautiful."
Nick Lawrence
NPR Affiliate WUKY-FM, Curtains at Eight!
“
Blackberries in the Dream House gets to you like a caress from
the most longed-for and tender of lovers. It turns you on and
heals your heart. Diane Frank is a poet goddess whose exquisite
incantation will leave you naked in your own sacred house of
dreams.”
Alan James Mayer
Talk Show Host, Radio Producer
“
Blackberries in the Dream House made me weep from its beauty.
The language is breathtaking, the story is delicious, and the
book is filled with light.”
Jennifer Hawthorne
Bestselling Author of Chicken Soup for the Woman’s
Soul
"
Diane Frank’s story is a metaphysical romance novel written
in delicately poetic prose. When her heroin, Yukiko, is happy,
butterflies fill her hair and hummingbirds fly out of her mouth.
The lovers don’t make physical love so much as meld into
one being."
Des Moines Register,
Ellen Heath, Book Editor
“
Blackberries in the Dream House reads like an altered state of
consciousness. Its powerful language and exotic love story combine
to create a deep impression that lasts far beyond the end of
the book.”
John Kremer
Author of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books
“
Reading Blackberries in the Dream House is like reading one continuous
prose poem. You step into a floating world of piercing beauty,
wild magic, and earth-shaking emotions. For days I walked around
dazed, lost in the dream.”
Caree Connet
Award Winning Poet
“
The novel meets the poem in this lovely book with the most exquisite
seamlessness. The beauty of language and image Diane Frank is
able to maintain, line after line, seems to flirt with the miraculous.”
Nancy Berg
Award Winning Poet
“
When you remove everything that is not necessary, something glows
underneath.' This novel glows with Diane Frank's poetic and visionary
wisdom, through an erotic journey illuminating universal cycles
of birth, death and rebirth. After having immersed yourself in
the sacred lives of Yukiko, a geisha, and the young monk, Kenji,
in an older, artistically flowering Japan, you might feel, as
I did, along with Yukiko, 'My feet are slices of melon, birds
curling over rocks. Where have they taken me now?"
Diane Averill
Author of Beautiful Obstacles
“
Blackberries in the Dream House is a passionate novel written
by a poet. It is told using deeply saturated images by a woman
who lives with vibrating intensity. Frank has a keen eye for
the terror and majesty of falling in love, and a kind heart for
the circuitous paths the heart takes to escape."
Terry Brennan
Reviewer, The Chicago Reader
