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.

      Agreed, poetry was originated that way and remains to be the best way of experiencing the work. IMHO

    These video shorts are so good, and especially the one on Homer: the voice is compelling and the visuals really add to the language. Well done. A great achievement to help poetry attract a wider audience.
