Andrew Benson Brown has had poems and reviews published in a few journals. His epic-in-progress, Legends of Liberty, will chronicle the major events of the American Revolution if he lives to complete it. Though he writes history articles for American Essence magazine, he lists his primary occupation on official forms as ‘poet.’ He is, in other words, a vagabond.

      Agreed, poetry was originated that way and remains to be the best way of experiencing the work. IMHO

    These video shorts are so good, and especially the one on Homer: the voice is compelling and the visuals really add to the language. Well done. A great achievement to help poetry attract a wider audience.

      We have to meet the common person where they are. And where they are is on YouTube!

        Assimilating the screen-starers is essential to World Poetical Domination.

    Andrew, what it takes to build these little words-of-wonder is intimidating for the average special-affectors (like myself). These are a very welcome addition to any poetry site. Great job, whiz-kid!

      Thanks Mark! Sorry I forgot to inform you that piece went up. A bit behind on things. Stay tuned for another one over the next few weeks here.

    Many thanks, Cynthia!

  2. James A. Tweedie on ‘Timeless’: A Poem by James A. TweedieNovember 22, 2025

    I would like to assure you all that i am in relatively fine fettle and not, as of yet, lubbered…

  3. Roy Eugene Peterson on ‘Just Do It.” and Other Poetry by Peter VenableNovember 22, 2025

    Peter, your faith comes shining through in these precious gems. They are reasoned and inspiring.

  4. Cynthia L Erlandson on Four Short Comic Pieces by Joseph S. SalemiNovember 22, 2025

    Excellent comedy, indeed -- especially the thermometer, with its hilarious rhymes, and the irony of the Job Interview.

  5. Cynthia L Erlandson on A Video Reading of ‘Compassion Compounded’ by Russel WinickNovember 22, 2025

    Russel, in addition to being a good poet, you are clearly a wonderful people-lover. What a great project you have…
