Anthony Brandt's poetry covers everything from a mother starling in a Target parking lot to a rumination on death, reflections and revelations from the natural world, places the author has been, the utter awe of scuba diving among schools of curious fish, and thoughts on the evanescence of an afterlife. Many of his poems--most not more than 20 lines--end with a twist, reflecting the author's ironic take on life. This is Brandt's second book of poems.
