BROADWAY BOOKS PRESENTS ARN STRASSER

We are delighted to welcome back poet and artist Arn Strasser with his new collection of poetry, Atmosphere (Budding Branch Press, 2026).

Michael Palma, poet, and the translator of a new volume of Dante’s Inferno said of Arn´s work “Whether decrying the cruelties and injustices of the world or, much more frequently, celebrating its beauties and triumphs, Arn Strasser´s lean, elegant poems are marked by precise observation and quiet authority.”

Arn Strasser is an poet, artist and writer. He lived in Portland for most of his adult life. He was born in Zurich, Switzerland and grew up in Great Neck, New York. Atmosphere is his seventh book of poetry, published by Budding Branch Press. A monograph on Strasser´s art by Uri Enriquez, Arn Strasser: Doing the Work, an Artist’s Journey, was published in 2025, and his book of creature drawings, Creatures I Have Known, was published in 2022. Other books include a volume of drawings, Architectural Gestures. Arn received a Masters Degree in Architecture from the University of Oregon and a Masters Degree in History from Michigan State University. He received a doctorate in Chiropractic from the University of Western States.
