Robert Kamm

Lyric Heart: Poems and Other Musings Robert Kamm First edition

"This is poetry everyone can enjoy, but do yourself a favor and read it aloud..." Norm Jackson, Ph. D. "Poetry should be more than a clever collection of words and images. The 'poet' must be a person who has truly lived and experienced the joys and agonies of the heart. Bob Kamm is that type of poet..." Barry Bernfeld, Ph. D. Bob Kamm rejects the idea that poetry is "a language of the gods." He makes it fully human in this collection of exceptional scope, addressing all the major domains of the average person's life-family, love, work, war, spirit and laughter. Yes, these are poems that should be read out loud-on the subway or in the suburbs, in the workplace or at funerals, weddings or births, on ordinary days, days of epiphany, days of sorrow, days of falling in love and out, days when you lose your faith in humanity and regain it-any and all days when your own heart longs to sing and either can't find the words or needs another to take up harmony.
