| Quotes about Howard Camner | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Camner defies the traditional aesthetic concepts of poetry. He targets a world of ideas in a rather active way as opposed to the more passive, meditative aspects found in most poetry. There is a linquistic simplicity to his poems, an almost transparent quality, over a rather complex web of experience and thought. His poetry is life..."all you have to do is look"-the obvious and not so obvious." - CAMBIO Literary Journal "Mr. Camner's poetic style is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's detective writing. It's descriptive, terse, and has interesting plot lines. His characters are certainly the product of a vivid imagination." - Poetpourri Journal "Although he rarely adheres to traditional poetic form, Mr. Camner's works are highly regarded in the literary community. He has found a foothold in major literary archives worldwide, and will no doubt be counted among America's most innovative poets." -Encyclopaedia of International Poets | |||||||||||||||||||||||
