In the garish singularity of a polaroid, memory and experience become simultaneous. Time neither slows nor stops, but rather, turns a mirror upon the eye. It is John Sandbach's particular and poignant intention to turn this same mirror upon the language of recall. It can be a tender intention, very much like that which once made Pinocchio into a real boy.
—Donald Revell
John Sandbach’s Pinocchio in the Land of Toys is an entirely original collection. I admire how affectingly Sandbach combines prose poetry and photography. Exploring borderlands both figurative and literal, he finds vital, enduring significance not by abstracting up and away from personal experience, but by delving down into its specific, granular texture.
—Peter Campion
John Sandbach is a professional chef, photographer and poet based in Maui, Hawaii. His work has appeared in numerous humor publications such as Points in Case, Slackjaw and Little Old Lady Comedy.
Much like photography, he views his poetry as a medium to capture snapshots of the human condition; which can be humorous, emotional, at times difficult and most of all - fleeting.
