He is a brilliantly bizarre poet and master of the surreal.\" - Lenny DellaRocca The Poetry Museum \"Camner defies the traditional aesthetic concepts of poetry. He targets a world of ideas in a rather active way as opposed to the more passive, meditative aspects found in most poetry. There is a linguistic simplicity to his poems, an almost transparent quality, over a rather complex web of experience and thought. His poetry is life... 'All you have to do is look' - The obvious and not so obvious.\" - Marta Braunstein, editor Cambio Literary Journal \"Camner writes in terse, stark, real verse that would make Hemingway raise his scotch glass in honor.\" - New Times Newspaper \"Camner's poetic style is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's detective writing; descriptive and terse with interesting plot lines. His characters are certainly the product of a vivid imagination.\" - The Comstock Review \"Camner's 'humour noir' is apparent in his poetics, his spirited voice and unabashed freedom - so alive, even in his earliest poems.\" - Peter Hargitai \"A literary detour, and well worth the trip.\" - Village Voice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Camner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1483629864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781483629865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.64d","brand":"Howard Camner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860416753919,"sku":"9781483629865","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4401641-6a43-4c71-93b2-d20e195d0201.jpg?v=1709136029","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poems-from-the-mud-room-howard-camner-9781483629865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
