“CHRISTENING THE DANCER, John Amen’s first collection of poems, shows us only one side of the lad - he’s also a painter, a fine musician and founder of PEDESTAL MAGAZINE. His poetry and fiction have been widely published in journals and magazines and he was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Cool dude.” From poet Susan Ludvigson: “‘Images such as ‘drought spreads like a virus/through my body’s orchards’ and ‘broken wing/flapping against the sky’s pale hand’ assure me that the poetic imagination is still alive and well in an America where much else is not.” These copies we have happen to be signed and dated by the poet. #21448
