Insights of a Dancing Poet

Book excerpt: Jon Von Erb is first and foremost a poet of the image-based, modernism genre of poetry started in the early 20th century. In this collection of his poems, you will relive the trials and conquests of a professional ballet dancer and teacher. Combined with a sense of humor and his eye for the oddities of life, he will lead you through poetry paths not usually taken. Although he has written poetry for twenty or so years, this is his first solo printed experience and he wishes hopes that you will sit back and enjoy this first collection.
