Product Description
Poems by Leland Jamieson. Unsolicited comments on individual poems collected for the first time in this volume: "Unique voice ... weaves powerful storytelling into poetic form" --- Sharon Hadrian, Editor of Antithesis Common Literary Magazine. "Fabulous capsules of feeling! I particularly admire the hand-flawlessly-fitting- in-a-snug-glove-tone of your lines" --- Robert Scott Leyse, Editor of the ShatterColors Literary Review. "They 'electrify'" --- Michael Burch, Editor of The Hypertexts. These are poems you can grasp and which grasp you with fresh eyes on the world and people like you and those you know. Even if you're "not a poetry reader," these poems portray characters you identify with, adventures that bring you to the edge of your chair, close-ups of situations you relate to easily. It's a must-read. Pick it up for yourself. Give it as a gift!

Enjambing on Jamieson, July 28 2007
By Ken Ingham "Tree Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 21st Century Bread (Paperback)
Bread is a common symbol of sustenance
It satisfies better than cheese or meat
On this book's cover, a broken loaf, bare hands
An image that seems to say "here, take eat"
This is a body of work, a collection
Of memories of people, place and time
Feelings freed by enjambing reflections
Into tight meter and unslanted rhyme
After fifty pages I yearned to know
Who're L.S.J. and G.M.P. et al.?
So I mulled and culled the multi-grained dough
'Til I came to know some of them quite well
My favorite poem was one from boyhood
Hopping and stopping a departing train
The ones about nature were also good
Pileated woodpeckers, acid rain
That dying dog whose brown eyes lost their clown
And the coda for readers and writers
Hints for getting our intimations down
On paper arranged in ways that delight us
Some might enjoy (more than I) those poems based
On fringe physics if not science fiction
Or Sumerian texts as paraphrased
In Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchen
Ancient god-astronauts from outer space?
I'd rather read Christopher Hitchens
Appended find explanatory notes
Ten questions about our roots on this globe
And further advice for fellow poets
About how to unleash the dextral lobe
