frontpew@paradise

JV Brummels’ latest collection is frontpew@paradise is Brummels’ best work to date; while the poems—as in his earlier collections, 614 Pearl, Cheyenne Line, City at War, Book of Grass, among others—focus upon the daily and particular concerns of the Great Plains and of ranch life, frontpew places Brummels’ readers up close and personal into the sermon that a long life may be.  The poems are not didactic by any means, but they are wise and contemplative, as the long road to paradise may be paved.
