Jerry Younkins Reader

     Jerry has been very active as a poet and writer, right up to the present. He says he's been in a very productive state for quite some time. He wants everyday people to comprehend what he's saying, which, in itself, is a paradox, since common people watch footbal and read the Reader's digest. Even though that's a stereotype, Jerry thinks it's not far from accurate. He writes:

     "I've written mostly to clarify my relation with the universe, since real poetry is deeper sight, at least if you believe that poet is priest, shaman, elder and important connector...I've confined my work to four subject matters, or should I say, that's what I'm attuned to. They are: green (often referred to as nature poetry, but green is all inclusive since it's all nature), anti-war/social conscious, Buddhist influence, and finally, the old ways. Our culture has thrown away a vast amount of knowledge that is non-technological but sustaining. That knowledge makes its own voice."

     Websurfing friend, this is a Jerry Younkins reader, and it's an interactive one, at that (Surprise!). We've subjectively arranged the icons, below, according to Jerry's four categories: green (tree), anti-war (dove), Buddhist (Buddha) and old ways (elderly man). We mean, these are really subjective categories, because dove poems have green influence, and green poems have Buddha overtones, etc. Therefore, dear reader, you can pick and choose any category to your liking, read the poems in any order, and virtually, make up your own reader out of Jerry's works (everything is "virtual" nowadays, so we thought you'd like that effect). So, enjoy the works of Jerry Younkins, and meanwhile, he sends you his wishes for peace on earth & goodwill to all sentience beings...
