Derrick C. Brown’s UH-OH is a collection of little poetic movies—part comedy show, part fever dream, part heartfelt confession.
Packed with weird creatures, unexpected turns, and poems that somehow make you laugh and feel everything at once, Uh-OH is a reminder that poetry can be a place to play, grieve, celebrate, and lose your mind a little.
Come for the chaos, stay for the joy.
You win. Close the lid.
It’s getting warm. Look how the racer becomes a finish line.
Relax and give in to all the victoriously beautiful,
loving energies of death.
