Praise for Another Way: “What I like most about Another Way is the author’s ability to see his past clearly, express/confess where he stands today, and explain that every spiritual journey is part of God’s mystery, beyond our understanding. Kevin Brown gets it.” -- Jon M. Sweeney Author of Almost Catholic and The Pope Who Quit Praise for Holy Days: Poems: "In Kevin Brown's poems, holy days are ordinary days. He has, with quiet measure, brought the sacred to the suburbs, the church to the strip mall, reminding us that death resides even there, despite the everlasting plastic greenery and glimmer of processed groceries. . . . Reaching out from the deep loneliness of our time, Brown's poems are the prayers spoken up through traffic and emails, psalms that still sing, despite our human foolishness." -- Nickole Brown "The poems in Kevin Brown's Holy Days situate a nervy contemporary consciousness alongside the impossibly admirable lives of saints. This juxtaposition is simultaneously comic and heartbreaking: the voice of the poems wants to believe, and to behave, but the saints--one per day, day after day, set a stratospheric bar. . . . And yet in these poems a relentless self awareness, coupled with syntactical precision, leads the reader to admiration." -- Jeffrey Skinner Follow me on Facebook |
