AUTHOR SIGNED
21st Century Renaissance has signed author, Arnie Yasinski, to publish his debut volume of poetry, Proposition.  We will launch late October/early November.  Details to be confirmed.   A taste of the back cover:   “This collection written over 20 years by an American born in 1948, finds him playing pool as a teenager with a wounded veteran in the VA town where he lived, then married at 19, divorced, and living through the inescapable mid-life crisis. Now living in Ireland with his Irish wife, he’s more conscious than ever of the inevitable. Full of longing, quintessentially male, honest, and aware, these poems will bear reading again and again....”
