Reviews

[Tim Heerdink · Rating 5 out of 5]

Despite what Tony Brewer may tell you, he is an excellent poet! Crawling his way into my list of favorites, my dog-earred, road weary copy of Hot Type Cold Read will be re-read for years to come. Brewer tells it as it is without sparing anyone. All the heartache that comes with being human under the scope of elegant poetry.
