This story begins before I know there's going to be a story. Which makes it difficult to know where, when, or how to begin. I could say: with a separation. But my wife and I were already a year or two into what our therapist kept trying to call a "therapeutic separation." He's a good man who truly gave us his best shot. So, what sounds more accurate is: this story begins with an ending. Or, even better might be: the awful begin-ning of a painful ending.

In the Days of Our Unrest: June - August 2020 picks up where In the Days of Our Seclusion, Book 1 of what is now called the Pandemic Poems Project, leaves off. This book follows the heated season of the summer, when temperatures and social turbulence led to historic wildfires, relentless hurricanes, and an unbroken chain of protests against incessant injustice that resounded through the streets of most American cities, and around the world. And during all this, the pandemic refused to give us a break as well-in other words, an overabundance of material for this daily report.In the Days of Our Unrest: June - August 2020 is the second book in a series that documents the odyssey of the poet and singer-songwriter, Nathan Brown, as he explores the new world of "no more live gigs." As his travel and performing career took a painful dive in the wake of the coronavirus, he put out the request for anyone who might want to commission a personalized poem for a donation of any size. Not thinking much of it at the time, the project has now grown into a full-time job that is close to actually paying the bills. This book is the culmination of the project's second "season" - the heated season of the summer, when temperatures and social turbulence led to historic wildfires, relentless hurricanes, and an unbroken chain of protests against incessant injustice that resounded through the streets of most American cities, and around the world.As requests are still pouring in, the sense of need and urgency on the part of those who are contributing has not let up, so Nathan has continued the series of live online videos called The Fire Pit Sessions, as a way for him to share in 'real-time' the emotions, concerns, and questions that the participants were expressing in the midst of the pandemic. At well over 30,000 views now, The Fire Pit Sessions have become a key ingredient in spreading the word for new commissions that will appear in the third and fourth books in the series.

Along with his songs and prose, author and singer-songwriter Nathan Brown has written at least one poem every day for over 20 years now. And from that practice comes this new collection in which each poem deals chronologically with every year of our lives, from the ages of 0 to 100. In one, he tells the story of an 8-year-old girl attempting to cross the border into the U.S. with her older brother. Further in, he works through the mental gyrations of a 39-year-old man and a woman who is 61 falling in love at a reading in a bookstore. As a whole, these poems offer a stark sensitivity to all the stages, transitions, and graduations of life, while also marking a willingness to put an honest, sometimes even cold and hard, magnifying glass up to the struggles of the soul--the Venus and the Mars in us all.

As a follow up to his earlier book, "My Sideways Heart," Nathan Brown's "My Salvaged Heart: Story of a Cautious Courtship" continues his breadcrumb trail of poems "about love" for people who don't like "love poems." The book is searing in its honesty about the glories and the pitfalls of relationship, beginning with an early meeting, the ensuing friendship, and eventual courtship of his current wife, Ashley. The last poem is from the night of their wedding.

Nathan Brown's "To Sing Hallucinated: First Thoughts on Last Words" matches contemporary poems with the last or dying words of the famous through the ages--beginning with Socrates and moving all they through to Charles Bukowski and John Denver. With back cover comments from May Swenson Poetry Award winner George Bilgere and Grammy nominee James McMurtry, this latest work from Nathan Brown looks to be his best to date.

'C' is a special child who came to live with us for 9 months. He was always very unique.

An Honest Day's Confession is the third in a trilogy of books that Nathan promised, and is dedicating to, his daughter Sierra. An Honest Day's Prayer was the first, and An Honest Day's Ode, the second. The series is intended to be an encouragement to her while still being honest about the state of the world in these times of political unrest, cultural uncertainty, and the government's denial about the health of the planet.An Honest Day's Confession rounds out the series by, possibly, being a little more honest with his daughter about life and culture, while still striving to remain positive and hopeful. All three books laid down the rule of "no blue language." A condition that does not come naturally to Brown.From the Seven Deadly Sins to an in depth look at the lives and nature of many of the Patron Saints, as well as Saint Augustine, this book covers a dangerous but necessary territory. Yet it also does it with Nathan Brown's unique vision and often searing angle on the world that Naomi Shihab Nye once referred to as "a tilted long-ranging eye that sees the next bend in the road, even when he's standing right here, firmly planted."

A small collection of poetry of a somewhat mythic nature. A journey within, and the whisper of a new foundation upon which we might all collectively stand and strive.

In this collection of co-written poems, former Oklahoma Poet Laureate Nathan Brown and three-time Austin Music Hall-of-Famer Jon Dee Graham call on the grumpy specter of Charles Bukowski to tell their world slant. Every poem's title is a line or phrase from Bukowski's work. Even the title of the book, "Don't Try," is the inscription on the old man's tombstone. Like a collection of profane Psalms, this book brings the concept of "duet" to poetry. And it comes out swinging with the sounds of distorted guitars and smoke-encrusted vocals.

An Honest Day's Prayer is the first in a trilogy that Nathan Brown promised to his daughter Sierra. The book is intended to be an encouragement to her while still being honest about the state of the world in these times of political unrest, cultural uncertainty, and the government's denial about the health of the planet.

An Honest Day's Ode is the second book in a trilogy that Nathan promised his daughter Sierra. In these times of cultural upheaval and political darkness, he wanted to give her these songs of "looking up," despite the evidence.

"Karma Crisis: New and Selected Poems," contains a selection of poems from Nathan Brown's first three books, along with a collection of new poems. The titles of the earlier books are: "Ashes over the Southwest" (2005), "Suffer the Little Voices" (2005), and "Hobson's Choice" (2002). The book "Suffer the Little Voices" was a finalist for the 2006 Oklahoma Book Award. Nathan's real gift is his ability with short narrative. He is first a storyteller. And so, where much of today's poetry tries to establish an air of superiority, holding the reader at bay, Nathan's work invites us into his well-traveled life and world of stories.

Agave offers a mixture of graphic art, essays, short stories, poems, songs, and recipes that focus in some way on tequila. The writing ranges from the comical to the touchingly serious, and contributors include several nationally-known figures. The book is designed to be a conversational piece at parties and a coffee-table showpiece for anyone interested in both tequila and art.

In this book of poetry, photographs, and scripture, poet Nathan Brown expands the tradition of spiritual literary struggles by engaging with the Book of Job both as poetry and as catalyst for personal, contemporary questions of innocence and experience, faith and doubt. Often irreverent but always honest, Not Exactly Job is an emotionally powerful and intellectually challenging work.

In My Sideways Heart, with consummate poetic skill, Brown explores the nuances of human relationships, and he does so with a courage and emotional honesty rare in contemporary American poetry. Are the poems in this collection love poems? Absolutely, but love poems skillfully absent the banal excesses of sentimentality. Brown writes with the confidence and directness of an experienced poet, and his seemingly simple diction belies the hard-earned wisdom stirring deep beneath the surface of his art. --Larry D. Thomas, 2008 Texas Poet Laureate
