Russell Salamon

Russell Salamon was born in Berkasovo, Yugoslavia, a hamlet of then 200 people near the Orient Express line huge locomotives that thundered through the village and which are recounted in his book “Breakfast in the Twelfth Century”. 

He now lives and writes in Los Angeles, CA where he is a frequent featured reader at local poetry events. He is also the author of eleven books of poetry, including: “Descent into Cleveland”, and “Woodsmoke and Green Tea”.

Of his poetry it has been said: “we are swept away in a current of water, trees, freedom, true love and poetic imagery”. You will find that and more in his books.

Hello Snow,
You are so white.
Have you been sleeping
on a sad lady's face?

     
Hello Rainbow,
Are you digging a hole
in the monutain to pour
your colors in?

Hello Tree,
Your leaves are a green fire
where birds sit
warming themselves
