San Antonio Is: The Poetry of Jason VanBlaricom

When a man dies prematurely and unnaturally, he leaves behind, along with his loved ones who sorely miss him every day, his plans and aspirations which, with rare exception, disintegrate with him into the dust. This posthumous presentation of Jason VanBlaricom's poetry is one of those rare exceptions. Publications in which his works have been previously acclaimed include Caveat Lector, Grain Magazine, Homestead Review, The Poet’s Haven, and Unlikely Stories.

"Jason Van Blaricom’s words want to give the impression that they are simple and straight forward, but they in fact hold a deeper meaning for the reader who is willing to take the time to read between the lines. 'I carried you in my mind until you popped out of my pen,' he writes in Bully. This illustrates how Blaricom uses simple words to convey a not so simple message." - Unlikely Stories
