Urban Trout is a glimpse into the life of Jevin Lee Albuquerque, a poet consumed by jazz and the art of fly-fishing. Having found his voice studying, listening, reading alongside the many great poets in North Beach, San Francisco, he hit the road in search of trout; along the way, finding poetry in the dark crevices where it thrives, absorbing rhythm, beauty, flowing streams, of jazz, in New Orleans. His mentor often said “everyone is a poet.” Albuquerque agrees. Poetry lives everywhere.
Jevin Lee Albuquerque grew up in California, on the local pier in Santa Cruz, fishing for striped bass. He evolved into a fly fisherman, obsessed with trout and steelhead. In a former life, he was a professional soccer player. He has a degree in Latin American Studies from UCLA. His work has appeared in numerous literary journals, including Catamaran Literary Reader, the French collectif, Poussières Du Monde (Éditions François Bourin, 2014) and Universal Oneness—Poetry Anthology (Authorspress, New Delhi, India, 2020).

PRAISE:

 

Urban Trout displays Jevin Albuquerque’s unique storytelling ability in the form of short, witty, relatable poems. His playful sense of humor as well as portrayals of everyday offenses against the soul, offer glimpses into positive and negative human behaviors. Free verse interwoven with images drawn from nature, scenes from universal experience, and familiar emotions make this an appealing, well-organized, and attractively presented compilation. 

—Dr. Jennifer Lagier Fellguth, editor Monterey Poetry Review, author of Illuminations (Kelsay Books).
