Description: h:13222 s:443253	John Yamrus has been writing since 1971. He has published over 1000 poems and has been translated into numerous languages."New and Selected poems" (with Lummox Press) is his 19th book. (what writers are saying about John's new book: "Two major qualities prevail in his recent work: economy and punch. No word is unnecessary or out of place; the timing is impeccable; and, most difficult of all, the endings hit just the right balance of summation, revelation, and surprise.” Gerald Locklin “Yamrus gambles with an all or nothing gesture to make the poem and the language his own. It dances right at the edge where all great poetry dances.” Todd Moore) expand

The experience of reading from a book in hand is infinitely superior to reading the flashing screen.

John identifies with everyman. And Everyman identifies with him. When he reads it's like he's talking to you, about you, for you.
