Bücher von David Brehmer

LIFE, DEATH, LOVE, and BABIES is a roadside monument to the totality of life. Spanning roughly ten years of David Brehmer's life, this prismatic collection casts a meditative gaze on everything from trauma to gun violence to parenthood to music to time itself, offering moments large and small an equal share of the spotlight. It is a celebration, an investigation, a memorial sketched with curiosity and concision.Rob Lipton, former poet laureate, says, "David Brehmer loves life, the full-blooded travesty...disappointment, loss, love, but embracing it, ecstatically celebrating the everythingness of existence." And Quan Barry, award-winning author and UW poetry professor, remarks, "Life, Death, Love, and Babies reminds us of the wonder that is our birthright if we would only pay attention."It is a collection alternately riotous and reverent, but all told with a reflective eye, a patient heart, and unflinching honesty.
