Emmy-award winning journalist Jeffrey Brown explores the intersections between politics and poetry in his debut book The News. From a high-security prison in Arizona to a West Point classroom to a slum in Haiti, Brown's poems share the perspectives of inmates, cadets, and survivors. Brown's voice is introspective and compassionate as he addresses both the “news from home” and natural disasters that cause large-scale suffering. In Brown's own words, poetry is an “accounting of what it means to be alive in this world,” and his work unites the “often disconnected worlds of news and poetry.”
