A collection of poetry that spans thirty-eight years of writing by poet John Yamrus.

Twenty four all-new poems by the master of modern poetry noir. Yamrus doesn't waste a word. In a career spanning more than 50 years as a working writer, John Yamrus has published 35 books (29 volumes of poetry, 2 novels, 3 volumes of non-fiction and a children's book). He has also had nearly 3,000 poems published in magazines and anthologies around the world. A number of his books and poems are taught in college and university courses. He is widely considered to be a master of minimalism and the neo-noir in modern poetry. His latest books are TWENTY FOUR POEMS and SELECTED POEMS: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT. A volume of his SELECTED POEMS was recently published in Albania and TWENTY FOUR POEMS is due out in translation later this year. Another fine book from Meat For Tea Press.

After the huge success of his acclaimed trilogy of slim memoirs (FIVE DOGS, RMA and MEMORY LANE), John Yamrus returns to poetry with SMALL TALK, which continues and expands the scope of his highly innovative, conversational verse.

"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
