Winside, Nebraska rancher and Wayne State College English and Creative Writing teacher J. V. Brummel's new book of poems, Cheyenne Line is a poetry hat trick: not a word out of place, no baloney, no solipsistic search for self or meaning or some undefined thing in academia we find in so much poetry these days. Brummels' throws are true: the cuts, clips, and brands each poem distinctly as a J. V. Brummels poem. Nobody's going to get these poems mixed up in the herd. Cheyenne Line and other poems is a powerful achievement by this gifted writer in mid-career. | Cheyenne Line and Other Poems by J. V. Brummels, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
