Praise for the poetry of A.D. Winans

A.D. Winans is one of the few writers I have met (and I've met too God Damned many of them) who doesn't act like a writer or think of himself continually as a writer and maybe that is why he writes better than they do. I always prefer a poet I can tolerate for more than ten minutes. That's rare and so is A.D."

--Charles Bukowski

"Here is a word-slinger, A.D. Winans, a poet of clarity, an artful man who makes it all seem so easy, a captive writer in his home port, San Francisco, a voice nailed onto the soil of his native land, capable of writing as he speaks."

--Neeli Cherkovski

As a poet, A.D. Winans is one of the best writing in the U.S. today. His work is powerful, human, humane and deals with primary issues."

--Hugh Fox

"The first time I read A.D. Winans I was reminded of that great Johnny Mercer song 'Dream' from Frank Sinatra's Nice 'N' Easy album. 'Dream ... when you're feeling blue.' Great writers and great singers always make their art seem like a walk in the park with a pretty lady. But if you think it's easy, try to sing like Sinatra or try to write like A.D. You'll find yourself alone, working the craft, and left--dreaming of the girl.

--Bradley Mason Hamlin

"The poetry of A.D. Winans stands alone upon the mesa of the International Literary Scene. If you are not familiar with it then there is a vast void in your life."

--John L. Natkie
