Andrew Benson Brown Reads Poems by D. Robin, Tessitore, Freeman, A. Casey, Dickey, and Tweedie The Society January 10, 2024 Classical Poets Live, Poetry, Readings 9 Comments . . . 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.

Getting poetry off the page is the way to reach the next generation. Reply ABB January 11, 2024 Thanks Michael. You’re definitely right about that. One of Tweedie’s proverbs–#4 I think–resonated with people for some reason, despite the fact that my visualization makes no sense whatsoever. The obvious and inescapable implication is that performing poorly in high school track leads one on an inevitable downward spiral to become an evil nun. Reply Phil L. Flott January 10, 2024 What an early morning delight! Reply ABB January 11, 2024 Thanks Phil! Reply C.B. Anderson January 10, 2024 Keep it going, ABB. If there are not a lot of responses, it might be because all the approbative comments have already been written. The unspoken truth is that what you’ve been doing is to give us all a second pass at what might previously have been overlooked. Reply ABB January 11, 2024 Thanks, CB. Evan is bombarding the site with my videos on a regular basis now, so I don’t expect people to comment every time. Planning on doing some of your epigrams soonish, which are the perfect length for the format. Will let you know. Reply C.B. Anderson January 11, 2024 Vielen Danks. Paul A. Freeman January 11, 2024 Spoken, as poetry should be, gives the works a whole new complexion. Nicely done, Andrew. Reply James Sale January 12, 2024 As I’ve commented before on these pages, I am not a great haiku fan for various reasons, but the rich and sensitive texture of your voice, plus the visuals, really does add something to poetry, and these deserve a wider audience: the Tweedie ‘obit’ poem made me laugh!
