A beautiful collection of contemporary poetry written by Kevin Heaton, edited by Anthony Shields, published by Midwest Literary Magazine with a forward by Doug Whiteman. Kevin Heaton demonstrates superb poetic style with a confident voice. Nature is attended to throughout this book in ways that are both new and surprising. The language is insightful and musical. The poet is ever-present, just behind the scenes, employing an unstrained style that is a pleasure to read. This is a collection you will read again and again.

In this new collection of poems, Glenn Lyvers once again displays his impressive poetic range. He digs deeply into the icons of an ever-shifting world. He throws this world at us all, in ways that are surprising and heartfelt. Faith, parenthood, identity and a slew of objects form the backdrop of a world rich in storytelling and abstraction. Glenn Lyvers seasons this world with people and animals. The result is nothing short of beautiful.

Glenn Lyvers is quickly ascending the ladder of emerging contemporary poets, and Burnt Umber is a “must have” in any collection of serious poetry today.

This beautiful collection has been hand-selected and edited by Anthony Shields. This anthology is taken from the pages of Midwest Literary Magazine.
