Poetic Mind: The Collection

Published on: Monday, October 4, 2021

“Like Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath, John Nevel finds universes of meaning in small, carefully observed facets of life. In his collected works, Poetic Mind, John shows that he can examine things as simple as a clock or the rain and discover profound meaning through observation from new perspectives. The volume is aptly titled because many of the poems deal with the processes of the mind: imagination, creativity, brainstorming, even writer’s block. His style shows a familiarity with the classics modernized with echoes of rap structure. John is an important new voice, and I look forward to more of his work." -Robert Jerome
