I’m pleased to be a
part of the group to be able to do this. Poetry is not my thing, but Rob’s
stuff is good. He’s also an awesome book blogger. He’s already reviewed “A Prescription for Delirium.” This month he will be releasing his own book of
poetry.
BLURB:
From Robert
Zimmermann comes From Where I Stand,
an emotional debut poetry collection.
Zimmermann explores strained parental relationships, loss of life, and
the despair associated with grief.
Alongside these darker themes, he delves into the small areas of life
that often go unnoticed but become the hope we are searching for.
Expected release November 2012
Example’s
of Robert’s poetry can be found in the poetry
section on his blog. He also has poems published by Albany
Poets.

QUOTES:
“Zimmermann
has achieved something rarely seen in modern poetry. Each poem is a personal
and detailed story that will strike the heart of the reader with a torrent of
emotion. Zimmermann balances the dark
and light beautifully and without a hint of hesitation.” – Jessica Fortunato, author of The Sin Collector
Trilogy
"Rob's
poetry has a very real tone to it and in some ways creates a tragic yet poetic
story." – Paulina Ulrich,
author of the Flightless
Bird Series

About Robert
Robert has been writing poetry since the eleventh grade. His writing started as impulsive rambling, but soon became a passion. A few years later he attended SUNY Potsdam where he received a B.A. in Creative Writing. His main focus is poetry, but at times you can find him dabbling in short fiction. Robert has also created the blog A Life Among The Pages, where he posts his writing as well as book reviews.
When he’s not reading or writing, Robert enjoys spending time with his dog, Deuc. Deuc ran out of the woods in August 2011 and they have been inseparable ever since.
