The kind of verse you remember liking so much.

"J. Glenn Evans' new collection of poems is like an old friendship, the kind of verse you remember liking so much, but you haven't been able to see lately. 'It begins with such small things,' the comedy in a car phone, and the illusion of the man inside the car, the desperate pleasure of sleep, the banalities of growing old. As Mr. Evans says, 'None of us knows who is bleeding.' I think this is the way poetry should be, the way you remember it: subtle, intelligent, evocative in its simplicities, pleasurable in the remembered sounds of rhyme and rhythm, an old friend in poetry, the one you thought was out of town.It is a great store of insight and intelligence. Great fun and good solid read. It looks like a winner.----Bart Baxter, award-winning poet.To chat with him now today, even close and companioned friend I could see not the enormity of this writer's diverse expanse of life's exposure; unless now proffered to overview of these telling poetic texts prodigious, a geologic time - a random life now contemplative in frank disclosure.This plain yet not so simple man then once a poor and callow youth, now older, wise and grayed with old hat covering a balding pate, pours forth his considered conviction in graphic and moralizing prose life's observations with a dearth of tongue in cheek sentiment.The subjects of his deep philosophical offerings, so orderly alphabetical, decry the random complexity of his life-long detailed emphathetic critque. So look you not just on the lines of this versifier with bland dismissal. Listen to the deep meaning of these vivid sermons of life's past boutique.These revealing thoughts philosophic dredge from mind's old and wondrous eye through his transforming dancing fingers over manual keyboards animation key pad, mouse to cable thence to printer the bits, bites of modern printer text for your random readings view, absorption, introspection and contemplation.Break-back toil in young manhood, contrasting later stock broker's financial felicity. Memories gleaned from past childhood times, youthful days of happy innocence garnered o'er time theseinformative and varied musings of considered consequence to the poetry reader proffered, compliments of this bard's reflective beneficence.----William A. Murdoch, friend and retired government employee.
