Dead in Dog Years - Warren Denbrock Porter

Dead in Dog Years - Warren Denbrock Porter

You are holding in your hands the first volume by a gifted young poet. His vision is compassionate, insightful and far-reaching. Here are poems about longing and desire, loss of faith and perseverance, and much more, rendered in a style invoking the spirit of times past. They are unique and will resonate with many readers. I predict it will not be his last.

- Jeffrey Round, author of In the Museum of Leonardo da Vinci and Threads

Warren Denbrock Porter is a necromancer of a poet, casting modern spells, curses and subjects, within Traditional Poetry's rhymes, structures, evocations. An array of well-read, well-bled, perspectives. Deathly, destructive personal matters) scatter the pages of the aptly-titled Dead in Dog Years - without ever leaning into predictability, pandering, or hyperbole (like many of his generational counterparts). Warrens survival instincts to scribe through the suicidal tendencies, and meter imagistic idolatry against the grotesque modern, is a gift to displaced Man-kind - who read poems - and contemporary Poetry, itself. This collection is a shotgun wedding vow of love and death, fear and meaning, purpose and faith.

- Aaron Farrell, author of The Man Who Told the World

Raw and dark emotions, his poetic words truly have you feeling his pain.

- Andrew LoMastro, vocalist of Cerebral Incubation
