Selected Poems

AV Haar 1982 to 2022

In 1982, AV Haar wrote and published his first poem, Shadows, and has continued to write poetry for over 40 years. This collection includes extensive selections of his first five poetry books, preserving the strongest of those, totaling 287 in one volume, all from this period, including 24 new poems.

This book includes over 520 pages of poems from Words which Stay, Volumes 1 and 2, Big Boy Pants, Fuck is Astir, and Teeth.

AV Haar writes about surviving childhood trauma, politics, nature, mysticism, a violent attack in 2021, and ultimately love. He does this in a combination of confessional and mystical poetry laced with imagist stylings.

AV Haar has only made his writing available to the public since 2020.
