Poet's Modern Poet "Human Exposure"

Human Exposure expresses ideas not voiced.

Thoughts are disguised under erotic, sensual, provocative veils of lyrical lines of words.  The perceptive and philosophical poems and excerpts follow the relationships, contacts, and exposures of the author.

Eleven of the poems have been published prior to this compilation.  Enjoyment and entertainment are especially gleaned while reading, and I found the book could not be laid aside.

The author hopes this series of short writings will increase communication among people.  Spending your precious time with his creative thoughts, as I have, will be heartfelt and enlightening.

Richard Jarmain writes because he loves living in the created world in particular the part he develops everyday.  “The world of the creative mind can be a beautiful place,” he said.  “Where else would one want to live?”

He admits that traveling, investigative reporting, and reading are essential to establishing a created reality that will be entered and accepted by the reader.  He has traveled the planet, preserving locations on 35mm film.  “Questions with answers and the exchange of thoughts are as essential to starting the creative process, as fuel and the ignition system are to an engine.”

He says, “I can write faster than I want to talk,” and admits an impatience, because writing is his favorite hobby.  “Writing is lonely, yet I exercise by daily walks or play at golf and tennis with my friend, Mel Aronoff.  Writing and office work can be debilitating.  It’s imperative to use your body as well as your mind.”

The author has background in the building trades, motel-hotel management, dentistry, and marine navigation.  He has two boys, one is a lawyer and the other is a physician in rehabilitative medicine.

He is considered a local poet, yet he has a book of short stories and says he has written enough short stories for a second compilation.  He wrote a novel, a nautical thriller, but implies it may be too informative for the general reader although he wrote at a fifth grade level.  “The vocabulary as well as the grammar can be a stump.  This novel needs a glossary.”

He is a positive, future oriented person; confident you’ll find Human Exposure thoughtful and analytical, but with hidden meanings.  “You may reread it,” he said.  “I read over and over with pleasure.  Hold on to it.”

The author appreciates your purchasing this book of poems, and makes notice of the poem “Struggle?”

“Human exposure is the fuel and ignition for this book.  Thank you.”
