Inventing Waterfalls is the newest collection of poems by Charles Hatfield, the celebrated writer of Border Disputes, the first full-length collection of his poems. The poetry magazine Tears in the Fence writes of Hatfield, "he is seeking inner truths, but at the same time totally aware of working in the outer world of war, refugees, control and propaganda. Always there is light, permeating the poems, illuminating his search." And, of his poetry, Stand magazine writes, "these are very fresh with their acura observation and frequent invocation of oriental subjects."
