I Admit Nothing John Yamrus

"John Yamrus is a master of short form poetry. After reading this new collection of poems, I wasn't surprised that every single poem in this book was as good, if not better, than anything I've read by him in the past." -Charles Joseph, Indigent Press "John Yamrus is a reader's writer whose poems are built from one honest line after another. I ADMIT NOTHING, again and again, captures the profundity within the everyday trials and triumphs that make up a life. A wholly accessible book; fierce, friendly, urgent, optimistic and long lasting." -Matthew J. Hall, Screaming With Brevity "In a world full of those who call themselves poets and pussyfoot around with clever linguistic tricks, John Yamrus stands out like a bloodied hunk of bone-sparing of the word and using just what is needed to get to the core, his poems cut deep to the heart of what matters challenging the reader and poetry itself to face the truth." -Adrian Manning, Concrete Meat Press
