Appearance of the Sun

Ron A. Kalman

stands as a distinctive voice in contemporary poetry, recognized for his profound explorations of the human condition and his ability to fuse personal narrative with universal themes. Based in the vibrant literary community of Boston, he has cultivated a significant presence both regionally and on the international stage. His work, notably encapsulated in his chapbook Appearance of the Sun, has been widely published and translated, reaching audiences across numerous countries. Critics frequently commend his unique poetic style, which is characterized by a searing emotional honesty, often tempered with a quirky, mordant wit.



"How rare, how marvelous, to find a collection of poems that so artfully explore the beauty and insight of humans being human, whether on the streets of Paris or in a basement laundromat. Kalman uses just the right words to tell the tales of lovers, writers, dreamers, and fans of Allen Ginsberg in a way that sparkles and zaps This is, to me, what poetry is all about. ~ Robin Stratton, Acquisitions Editor Big Table Publishing Company
