Outer Edges ranges from the traditional to the avant garde with the poise of a poet who is in full command of his art.

The casual reader will delight in the supple flow of words that wraps the reader in their magic spell, but the astute reader will be fascinated by the interplay of Eastern and Western subtleties. Kimmel has the courage to mingle the contemporary with the traditional and his vocabulary and format always serve the best interest of the poem. His rhythm is dance-like as he weaves ornaments, then returns to his themes in a waltz of words gliding across the page.

He is very much alive and has the assurance of his maturity to accept himself and his world as they are.
