About

Tantalizingly irreverent; Camners 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

Camners 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

Camners 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.
