Praise for The Anti-Hero & The Disciple
"With a mix of poetry and prose, Josef Miyasato captivates with moments of surrealism and bursts of raw but beautiful language. "After a fight, I climb into my bathtub and look inside my brain. It is mostly gray like an old Chevy coughing up exhaust." To those whose hearts, minds, chests, or brains are void of light and life, Miyasato offers meditations and stories on good and evil that explore the filling, fulfilling, and cleansing of the human cavity."
Tacey M. Atsitty, author of Rain Scald
And the Word will take away your stony heart for a new heart. And from that stone you will build a new house to shelter and grow your infant heart of flesh.
