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.
To be perfectly honest, Michael, I never know how what I write will strike a reader. Sometimes things just work…
My wife, Julian, has often asks me why I write poetry when I could be writing songs and making some…
You write some exceptionally fine lines, Armaan. For one example from each poem: Wrong means reaching. Wrong means getting at…
Thanks, Margaret B! His inspired words have echoed through the ages, in many languages, and I've memorized Psalm 1 in…
Thank you for describing my lines with such appreciation, Bhikku Nyanasobhano. The qualities you mention are what I could hope…
Andrew, I thank you wholeheartedly for your tireless endeavors to breathe technological beauty into the words of those who love words. You lift poetry to a higher level. My effort is way better when surrounded by visuals that add eye-candy to rhyme and rhythm… and for that, I am most grateful. Never stop!
Thanks Susan, doing my best to keep trucking along here.
Two beautiful minds in collaboration!
Yes, and an unwitting collaboration on top of.
These are an absolute delight, Andrew. Well done. And I have to say that the everything bagel at the end of Susan’s poem was an absolute hoot.
Ha glad you noticed that detail. In the E-bagel lies the secret of the universe.
Thank you so very much, Andrew! You are an excellent reader, and your pictures (both the beautiful ones and the humorous ones) are always so good.
Thanks Cynthia, been wanting to do that poem of yours for a while.
Wonderful readings, wonderful graphics, wonderful poems: a real feast of poetry. Well done all, especially you, Andrew, in resurrecting these poems from the page to these wonderful images and sounds. Quite fitting that you end with Monika Cooper’s Elijah poem, transported as he is – poetry transports us too!
Thank you, Andrew Benson Brown.
All glory to the Muse of fire who translated the prophet!
