Brian Armstrong's Blog: Mediocricidal Musings

I seem to have more views on these posts than I expected, so here's one more.
I am published once more in Poetry Quarterly. Please check out the Spring 2014 issue. There is a link to it in the poetry section of my website: http://www.brianarmstrongwriter.com/#...

My new website has just launched:

Just got a great review of my book, Pangaea: Transforming the Landscape from the fantastic poet M. Scott Craig.

Quoting below:

Mr. Armstrong has produced a savvy piece of work, relating the senses of man to the underlying earth. The world contains everything, hard and soft living, and his poetry does a very nice of job of mixing all the facets of the world into an intelligent web of ideas. Name a subject and it's probably mentioned with colorful description. He has strong input on how the body lives and evolves off the land, rather controlled and multi-dimensional. He maintains a strong sense of growth patterns. A bit of artwork is scattered through the work that creates a long-lasting image in favor of the playing words around them. And the titles stand out. Titles can alter perception, and his thought-out titles roll off the tongue and bring value to the work. The title piece is a favorite. A very insightful and non-delicate collection.Pangaea: Transforming the Landscape

My book, Pangaea: Transforming the Landscape, will soon be available on the apple iBookstore.

I had a lot of fun reading at the Percolator in El Paso hosted by the Barbed Wire series and hanging out with my bro and sister-in-law. Thanks to everyone who came out to support local writers.

My play, Just Visiting, has been selected as part of the new play festival. Updates as they come.

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Play in a Day Festival put on by the Old Pueblo Playwrights group (of which I am a member). I directed a play called Multiple Choice. It was a fun experience.

My book signings at the Bookmans in Tucson (the Grant and the Speedway locations) went much better than I had hoped. I sold several copies and met some nice people.
