88,95 kr. "Bird Religion" is emotionally haunting, filled with despair and resurrection, hope and slap. Jan Chronister's poems are exceptional-tight yet fluid images, quirky takes on universal themes of aging, death, remorse and redemption.Cathryn Cofell, author of "Stick Figure with Skirt," winner of Main Street Rag Poetry Book Contest 2019.

88,95 kr. Perhaps this small book of poems could be called "Survivors" because, for every casualty, there is (hopefully) someone to remember and tell the story. Chronister's poems are short, but there is strength in their brevity. These are poems of the Holocaust and war, of families, survival, and the human spirit's desire to live. These poems take sharp jabs at history. They simmer with memory and who is responsible. How could this happen? Maybe when the lilacs bloom, there is hope. Karla Huston, Wisconsin Poet Laureate 2017-2018, author of "A Theory of Lipstick" (Main Street Rag Publications: 2013) and "Grief Bone" (Five Oaks Press: 2017).

- Collected Poems 1989-2018
168,95 kr. Living off the grid in small-town middle America, capturing scenes of survival and reckoning, and examining family and personal histories are recurring themes in Jan Chronister's full-length poetry collection "CAUGHT BETWEEN COASTS." The "coasts" map birth and death, brother and sister, child and parent, along the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior where Chronister has lived. Poems address being a daughter, mother, and woman while inviting readers to consider honestly how these roles shape our lives. Called a "memorable collection" by Peggy Trojan, author of "Essence, Homefront: Childhood Memories of WWII" and "Free Range Kids," and endorsed as "a poetic kaleidoscope," this volume of short poems, spoken in pure language, is a multicolored story of the poet's life... Warm, honest, often humorous, solid.
