Poems from the Mud Room

"Tantalizingly irreverent; Camner's work smacks of the deliciously absurd with a point. He is a brilliantly bizarre poet and master of the surreal." - Lenny DellaRocca The Poetry Museum "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 linguistic 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." - Marta Braunstein, editor Cambio Literary Journal "Camner writes in terse, stark, real verse that would make Hemingway raise his scotch glass in honor." - New Times Newspaper "Camner's poetic style is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's detective writing; descriptive and terse with interesting plot lines. His characters are certainly the product of a vivid imagination." - The Comstock Review "Camner's 'humour noir' is apparent in his poetics, his spirited voice and unabashed freedom so alive, even in his earliest poems." - Peter Hargitai "A literary detour, and well worth the trip." - Village Voice
