Derrick C. Brown's electric fourth collection Strange Light won the Texas Book of The Year prize.
Brown presents as an unrelenting machine of honesty that has been called his most personal collection of work. Strange Light takes us back to the docks, to a violent drama class and boring prom, an undersea conversation with Jacques Cousteau, and into his famous romantic bursts of verse. This collection is one of the most inventive and potent collections of modern American poetry.
Everything hilarious and stirring is illuminated. The power of Strange Light is waiting.
I know why people compare their lovers to ballrooms.
I need a suit.
I’ll write my own invitation.
