Sam Haskins Attorney

Poems 1970-1980
by Sam Haskins

By "getting it out and writing it down," Sam Haskins paid attention to a turbulent personal and professional life through poetry. Songwriters were an obvious influence—Dylan, John Prine, Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell—but Haskins found his own voice in a series of poems that seem as if they were written just yesterday. Unpretenious but aware, lively and thoughtful, Haskins's poems work as a social document of a specific time and place, and as pure literary expressions.
