Just Love Poems for You

There are few poets who combine emotion, rhythm, clarity and language in the way of the American poet, Sam Hamod. Pablo Neruda "Sam Hamod's poems arise from a full, generous heart and a sensibility as keenly attuned to subtleties of feeling and perceptions as his Arabic/Moslem poet ancestors. His poems are not thoughts "about" love - they are of the body "in" love" Jack Marshall "Sam Hamod is one of America's finest poets. He is a poet to reckon with" Robert Hayden "Sam writes these marvelous floating poems" Galway Kinnell "Sam is one of our best poets, also one of the most international in scope among us" Dick Hugo "Sam can make you laugh or cry in a poem, something most poets can't achieve. Sam Hamod is one fine poet and a fine man as well" James Wright "Sam Hamod's poetry is in the company of such poets as Pablo Neruda, Garcia Lorca, and Jorge Luis Borges" E. Ethlebert Miller
