About Jim Landwehr:
“Jim Landwehr is a master of metaphor and the poems in Tea in the Pacific Northwest speak eloquently of old cars, old loves, old dogs, and travels to places real and imagined. There is subtle humor mixed with profound melancholy in these poems. The poet gives us memories of youth, pandemic musings, and predictions for the future, all reminding us in more ways than one that “life ain’t nothin’/but a house party.”
Books available for purchase:
“Many of Landwehr’s serious poems have a humorous side, and he sneaks some seriousness into the humorous ones while analyzing and poking some fun at parenting teens, reaching middle age, and the human condition. He is deft at alliteration and has mastered analogy. To wit: have you ever imagined the polar vortex as a “slumlord with a drinking problem,” or described someone’s voice as “a blend of bagpipes, fireworks and a locomotive pile up.”?Well, Jim has. Read this book.
