Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Poet's Choice comprises new poems and a collection selected by the author from his earlier books of poetry. The Writer's Digest, in awarding him a first prize for unrhymed poetry, had this to say: "[His] poetry offers gracefully presented traditional language, [is] well-ordered, rhythmic and concise. It avoids prosy explanations, poetized clichés, and the mundane sentimental phrases that can often mar a poem's possible elegance." Following such predecessors as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Robert James Waller (whose self-published book Love in Black and White became the hit film The Bridges of Madison County), Politano has self-published all his books. This marks his fifteenth book in print. Politano tells us that ... "[His] poetry, like all art, should be enjoyed by the greatest number of people...a poem shouldn't be so personal...so "private" that no one except yourself or the person for whom you wrote it...can understand it well enough to be able to appreciate it."
