"Ascension of the Prophet Elijah" by an unknown artistAndrew Benson Brown Reads Poems by S.J. Bryant, Erlandson, Binns, Maibach, and Cooper The Society March 22, 2024 Classical Poets Live, Poetry, Readings 10 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.

You lift poetry to a higher level. My effort is way better when surrounded by visuals that add eye-candy to rhyme and rhythm… and for that, I am most grateful. Never stop! Reply ABB March 23, 2024 Thanks Susan, doing my best to keep trucking along here. Reply Michael Pietrack March 22, 2024 Two beautiful minds in collaboration! Reply ABB March 23, 2024 Yes, and an unwitting collaboration on top of. Reply Brian A. Yapko March 22, 2024 These are an absolute delight, Andrew. Well done. And I have to say that the everything bagel at the end of Susan’s poem was an absolute hoot. Reply ABB March 23, 2024 Ha glad you noticed that detail. In the E-bagel lies the secret of the universe. Reply Cynthia Erlandson March 22, 2024 Thank you so very much, Andrew! You are an excellent reader, and your pictures (both the beautiful ones and the humorous ones) are always so good. Reply ABB March 23, 2024 Thanks Cynthia, been wanting to do that poem of yours for a while. Reply James Sale March 26, 2024 Wonderful readings, wonderful graphics, wonderful poems: a real feast of poetry. Well done all, especially you, Andrew, in resurrecting these poems from the page to these wonderful images and sounds. Quite fitting that you end with Monika Cooper’s Elijah poem, transported as he is – poetry transports us too! Reply Monika Cooper April 1, 2024 Thank you, Andrew Benson Brown. All glory to the Muse of fire who translated the prophet!
