The Language of Rain and Wind

"These empathetic poems are rich with the realities of other lives. John Krumberger doesn't miss much: there is a wide (and deep) range of concerns in these pages. Here is a writer who knows how to listen and to watch, who can make vividly surprising, daring imaginative connections without raising his voice; the complexities are all the more strongly felt for the overall naturalness of his manner and the skillful quietness of his voice. These are indelibly human poems; I loved reading them."--Michael Dennis Browne, author of Things I Can't Tell You
