    In a Few Minutes Before Later

    Finalist for the Four Quartets Prize, given by Poetry Society of America, 2023An iconoclastic ecopoet who has led the way for many young and emerging artists, Brenda Hillman continues to re-cast innovative poetic forms as instruments for tracking human and non-human experiences. At times the poet deploys short dialogues, meditations or trance techniques as means of rendering inner states; other times she uses narrative, documentary or scientific materials to record daily events during a time of pandemic, planetary crisis, political and racial turmoil. Hillman proposes that poetry offers courage even in times of existential peril; her work represents what is most necessary and fresh in American poetry. During an enchantment in the lifeDo you love a living person         absolutely? Tell them now.In a half-unwieldy life you made, underthe hyaline sky, while the dead         drank from zigzag pools nearby,if they saved you in your wild incapacities,         in timing of the world's harmin a little pettiness in your own heart while others took         your madrigals in shreds to a tribunal,         when others said you should feel grateful        to be minimally adequate for the world'striple exposure or some tired committee...         The ones who love us, how do theybreak through our defenses?         We're tired today. Come back later.Their baffled voices melting our wax wallswith a candle, the ones who understandwhat being is—the glowing, the broken,the wheels, the brave ones—        they have their courage,you have yours,,,;         when you meet the one you love,it is so rare. When you meetthe one who loves you, it is extremely rare.

    Ten Bridges I've Burnt - A...

    In Ten Bridges I've Burnt, Brontez Purnell—the bard of the underloved and overlooked—turns his gaze inward. A storyteller with a musical eye for the absurdity of his own existence, he is peerless in his ability to find the levity within the stormiest of crises. Here, in his first collection of genre-defying verse, Purnell reflects on his peripatetic life, whose ups and downs have nothing on the turmoil within. "The most high-risk homosexual behavior I engage in," Purnell writes, "is simply existing." 
     
     
     
    The thirty-eight autobiographical pieces pulsing in Ten Bridges I've Burnt find Purnell at his no-holds-barred best. He remembers a vicious brawl he participated in at a poetry conference and reckons with packaging his trauma for TV writers' rooms; wrestles with the curses, and gifts, passed down from generations of family members; and chronicles, with breathless verve, a list of hell-raising misadventures and sexcapades. Through it all, he muses on everything from love and loneliness to capitalism and Blackness to jogging and the ethics of art, always with unpredictable clarity and movement. 
     
     
     
    With the same balance of wit and wisdom that made 100 Boyfriends a sensation, Purnell unleashes another collection of boundary-pushing writing with Ten Bridges I've Burnt, a book as original and thrilling as the author himself.

    THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
    This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
    former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
    The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
    use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
    effectiveness. 
    In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
    The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
    but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
    Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact. 
    * Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. 
    Purely 100% inspirational from the Author. * As for all his poems.*
