Editorial Review of Across the North Pacific
Across the North Pacific is a history of the future. It takes you on a tour of the relationship between language and behavior, two phases of the same phenomena, of English, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. Society is a linguistic echo. War is the attempt to control the economic future by force. Control of the Pacific Basin economy is at stake. Based on linguistic geography, Across the North pacific forsees the ultimate Chinese victory.

Review Summary: A literary tour de force
Review: Across The North Pacific by Charles Potts is a literary tour de force of sweeping, free-verse poems projecting a future torn in three directions by the languages and attached cultures of English, Japanese, and Mandarin. Dividing its pages into spheres of influence, Across The North Pacific culminates in a verbal thunderhead explosion that will leave poetry devotees yearning for more. The North Star: This is not Polaris/But a one man satellite/In permanent geosynchronous orbit/Over the North Pacific/Trying simultaneously to see and understand/All three great North Pacific cultures at the same time.
