Poetry has been a part of man’s oral and written culture since the first stories were told for entertainment and passed down generationally as history. Today most poetry is still thought to be staid or archaic. The works of author Branch Isole shatter this belief with contemporary short stories that engage the reader in situations often experienced, but not always voiced.
Branch writes first, second and third person vignettes concerning life and the human condition using resourceful language that crackles and sparks. Through a mix of biographical and expository observations come pieces brandishing an edge, inviting us to inhale their essence. Voyeurism Poetry is purpose filled story telling, which paints images for the reader while evoking responses of identity and reflection.
In a presentation similar to Chaucer’s traveling minstrel who comments on the interactions of those he comes into contact with, Branch Isole uncovers the extraordinary in the everyday and reveals unexpected truths of relevance and redemption in exposés of authentic curiosity and honesty.
These are poems that experiment with and test boundaries, without ‘in-your-face’ social or racial ranting. Branch Isole’s work is more a whisper than a shout, speaking directly to the individual in private where sharing, relevance and relationships take place. Cutting across traditional lines and markers, Branch Isole’s Voyeurism Poetry is about adult issues where emotions commingle with responsibility choice or avoidance.
