Norman "Buzz" Minnick
"Minnick does not look like a poet. Walt Whitman, who was a famous poet, had a long, white beard. Minnick is as clean-shaven as a choirboy." – Indianapolis Star
"To Taste the Water is ... [the greatest] book [ever written]." – Minneapolis Star Tribune

Norman Minnick is a poet and playwright.
He is the author of To Taste the Water: Poems (Mid-List Press, 2007) and several chapbook collections including Two for the Cold, a collaborative work with Lawrence Atwood, (Broadside Books, 2000) and The Overreacher (Broadside Books, 1998). He is the editor of Between Water and Song: New Poets for the Twenty-First Century (White Pine Press, 2010). He has not yet written a play. Minnick is not Poet-in-Residence at a university and he has not been twice nominated for a Pushcart Prize. In fact, he has won no major awards. Minnick is an unforgettable reader of his and others’ poems, and as long as one of his kids does not have a little league game I am sure he would be happy to come to your place and recite his poems––for a small fee, of course. He has been known to work for pizza and beer in lieu of an honorarium. Also known as Buzz Minnick, he is the singer of the formidable old-school hardcore band Bush League.
