Hi LP,
Have just been back to read another of your poems - Rain, Isolation, Self Analysis - and will certainly be returning for a second read - there is much to absorb in this thoughtfully composed, honest and revealing write. Jim Hogg was right about your writing - it is superb! I think I could learn a lot from the way you craft your poems. The language, structure, content and imagery combine to produce writing that is impactful, absorbing, original and has an internal music that resounds.
Back to read more later...

One of the most sincere and disciplined writers on Poemhunter. I couldn't claim to appreciate everything Lamont has written but there is usually a standard maintained whereby I have been interested in looking at new compositions -where that was appropriate- or re-visiting certain pieces...'Rain... Isolation', 'American Killers...', for example. I have always enjoyed the care with which Lamont presents work and the concentration on word selection and punctuation.Such things may seem to be obvious features to notice in a poem but Lamont's writing, more often than not, stands out in this regard; the focus and application.
In fairness, over the course of 3 years, I have thrown a few barbs Lamont's way too. To his great credit, Lamont has, most often, responded with dignity and a certain amount of grace. Such a response has only affirmed my initial belief that Lamont Palmer is a serious writer, with a mind set upon perfection of expression. I cannot think of a quality more transparently admirable than that. |

Thanks for the nice word, Raynette. At the moment, I'm focusing on print publication (in case anyone else was wondering too) . It's nearly impossible getting a poem into print if it has already circulated around the net, thus my regular posting on PH is largely finished for the time being, though I may still peep into the forum occasionally and comment, or post a stray poem or two that I'm not shopping around. I certainly can't bag that National Book Award if I'm only publishing on here, right? (smile) Onward and upward with my Poet's Market book under my arm. Take care. -LP |

Am I the only one who misses seeing a new Lamont Palmer poem from time to time? He has his reasons for not posting, I am sure, but for those of us who enjoy his poetry, it seems such a loss.

One and half years after I joined poemhunter, I have yet to come across someone who writes with such timing, rhythm and control. The 'sound' of his work is very good, the images fresh and uncliched. Rhyme is occasionally used with subtlety to add momentum to his work. One of his poems concerns the debate between modernism and post-modernism. Lamont's work is a fusion of both. Like a good post-modernist, he gets out all of the old road maps, anchoring his work with a sense of music. Like a good modernist he is not at all derivative in his language. An excellent poet. |

Oh, My God! Aren't you famous yet? Your poetry is incredible. I hear a voice evocative of Wallace, yet uniquely your own. Weldon Kees, Gerard Manley Hopkins? I am just blown away! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Ron, I hope you don't mind but I found this analysis of my work so thoughtful and interesting, I thought I'd stick it on the front so others can read it and measure their own views against it. Thanks.

Hi Lamont,
Found a few moments to get to some of your stuff,
find you daring, adventurous, brilliant at times, over reaching - risking- no sin in that, applaud your trying to push envelope of cliches and complacency off a cliff and if you slip and go off with it - WTF at least you didn't sit at home in the rocking chair all safe and gin fizzed with mediocrity.
I wonder: your imagery is not obtuse and fuzzy but sings with clear tone clarity, yet you often waste yourself explaining it (when you deal with loneliness, for example) Funny because I'm usually at war with poets of surreal
and private 'geographies' for failing to communicate anything beyond self absorbtion in whatever and now I think you bend over backwards to reach the reader and I'm wanting you to stand up straight. These are just thoughts, kind of looking for something real to say to you, but my perspective is only that, as you well know. I heard Pound really helped Eliot by editing and cutting and I think finding your Ezra would push you into glory.
