Overview

"The Headless Angel is a poetry collection divided into two sections, ""The Truest Myth,"" and ""What the Soul Ate."" Bill Brown wrote these poems in his mid-sixties to explore aging and surviving in this ""often dark world"" by paying attention to moments, solitude and the Creative Spirit of our natural world. Living in the Milky Way with over 300 billion stars, an un-understandable figure, is a true gift beyond our knowing. The poems are grouped seasonally, and many are love poems to life, his wife, Suzanne, and the precious struggle to live one day at a time. Other poems reach back into his life's journey with new visions. Come, take this journey with him."

Reviews

These incredible poems are replete with cats, trees, quiet mornings with coffee, squirrels on the roof, a letter to Neruda, the lover's easy breath, and the wafting scent of fresh baked bread. Brown needles the solitude and ongoingness of creation with such deft mastery of language, prosody, and syntax. --Tiana Clark The poems in this collection are rich with such wisdom and beauty, each bargaining for a second, a third read, and more. Brown's words resonate with what's deepest in our hearts. --Cathy Ann Kodra Nature and memory fill Brown's latest collection with joy and sorrow. The Headless Angel celebrates our interconnectedness with nature and how much we benefit creatively and spiritually by what she offers. --KB Ballentine Whether the humor of Traffic Salvation, with its word play and on-spot descriptions of the modern world's least-favorite pastime, or the prayers imbedded in On a Cloudy August Day, Waiting, September Morning, Today's News, and many others, the poems in Bill Brown's latest collection, The Headless Angel, are more than reward for a few hours spent in their company. --Connie Jordan Green
