Excerpt
"I have this great passage I like to read at some readings that talks about how poetry is undervalued, that few people pursue it, and that the state of poetry today is appalling. All throughout the reading there are people giving the "Yeah!" and "Amen to that!" Then I give the date it was written: 1905. Ninety-five years of change and the things people say about poetry haven't changed much. Poets have a history, maybe even a mantra of woes: that they are not accepted by others, never published enough, overly sensitive and maybe I'll die someday and someone will find and publish my work and I'll be great. Sorry, ain't going to happen."- Excerpt from the Matt Welter Interview

I met Brian a few years ago in Boston...when he moved to the coast I thought I would never hear from him again....since then he has made me Boston Editor of Poesy, and took it from an obscure magazine to the "talk" of the small press!
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
