A Lark Up The Nose Of Time, Wayne F. Burke's fourth full length book of poetry, extends from the poet's childhood to present circumstances with accessible and viscerally inclined poems, whimsical and serious by turns...Let the rhythmic language take you on a trip through a harsh poetically-rendered landscape, earthy as well as highly imaginative. "Not only the most original and authentic collection of poems I've read in years, it's one of the best books period. I loved every poem. Some are both as funny and as tragic as could ever be imagined. These poems come from a life-time of real experience in the REAL world, and straight from the heart. A masterpiece!" ~ Howard Frank Mosher, author, A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM, New England Book Award Winner. "...paradoxical twists, wordplay, subtle associations and darkly funny atmosphere. (Burke) is an earthy pragmatist with a surreal inner life...an insomniac dreamer." ~ Ada Fetters, Editor, The Commonline Journal. "The word genius is bandied about far too freely, and most geniuses are not recognized as such in their life time. With that being said I am not the least bit hesitant in claiming Burke's poetic genius and I hope it is recognized in his life-time." ~ Matthew J. Hall, author, THE HUMAN CONDITION IS A TERMINAL ILLNESS"...staccato hard-hitting lines...Burke has a keen no bullshit eye and style that gets the job done...Like a first round TKO." ~ Alan Catlin, MISFIT MAGAZINE

Wayne F. Burke was born in 1954 to Claire Burke neé Kelly and Edward W. Burke. He was raised in the home of his paternal grandparents, as were his three siblings. His grandfather was owner and operator of BURKE'S INN, a generational business begun previous to the First World War. Wayne F. Burke attended public schools, and after High School, three institutions of higher learning before graduating from Goddard College in 1979 (B.A., RUP). After graduation he lived in a variety of places while working at a variety of occupations. In the mid-80's he located himself in the central Vermont area (USA) and has remained since. His first poetry collection (Words That Burn) was published when he was fifty-eight. Since then, three more collections have followed: Dickhead, Knuckle Sandwiches, and A Lark Up The Nose Of Time. A fifth volume, tentatively titled Poems From The Planet Crouton, is currently in progress.
