Ken has an amazing talent to create clear, concise and memorable images which, in the words of Irving Layton, create poetry that is 'a miraculous fusion of sound and sense'. These are some epigrammatic lines from Ken's poems:
-"for friends are random gifts of joyous circumstance
that come but rarely to the human dance"
-"let us honour birthdays -the universal gift of time-"
-"seeking the sharp edges of truth in our time"
-"We must embrace the struggle as a lover
for it perversely nurtures us"
-"It's heaven to be seven
with a daddy like mine"
