Praise for Jack Shiner

“Jack Shiner is the poet laureate of the free spirit caught behind a desk somewhere but warming his thoughts on the embers of his imagination. Ranging the scale of emotions from high to low, his notes will set up sympathetic vibrations in many kindred spirits.” Douglas M. Schwegel, Ph.D., Montclair State College

Praise for “Whispering Sand and Other Poems”

“These poems have an appeal to both lovers of free verse and the more formal instances of rhyme.” -Henry Dierkes, Poet and author of “Robert Frost: Friend to a Younger Poet”
