Stomp and Sing

"Jon Andersen's poems sing of a life lived, devoured, explored, and awake. Who writes like this anymore?"

—Luis J. Rodríguez, author of Always Running

"...his poems focus on the predicaments of the young working class, echoing with humble but persistent optimism."

—Library Journal

"Stomp and Sing is a deeply affirming book of poems at a time when the banalization of every action and the disappearance of our dignities threaten everyone by way of the forces of war and public lies. Jon Andersen recovers for us the deathless sense of earthly and familial relationships, development, work-magic, class-insistence and natural struggle. You will recognize profoundly what the Evil Empire has wanted you to renounce by way of forgetting, and for that we have Jon Andersen to thank."

—Jack Hirschman
