In a world that is hell-bent on gobbling itself up, the poetry of John Yamrus is a welcome break from all this great crashing about and railing against all that is wrong. The poems in this collection have an easy comfort to them. I realize that sounds trite and I certainly don’t mean to trivialize John’s work. In the broad spectrum of poetry, a crazy patchwork quilt of styles and themes at best, those who notice, much less capture, the everyday matters of the heart are, to me, a rare breed. Sure, we all must rage against the light at some point, but that’s not all there is. Most of the time it’s just little events that seemingly dull the senses, yet it’s these very moments that are the glue that holds the whole mess together. How we deal with this really says who we are.
