The Alien
The earth is under siege. With global warming and natural disasters an alien who first appeared in 1957 is back to wreak havoc by claiming he is a savior while plotting our final destruction. "I laughed and I cried with the characters. This is definitely my favorite!" - Marcy L. Avid Reader
If poems could talk with each other, Bill Brown’s After Reading might be what they’d speak. And who’s to say they don’t converse? For that’s what poems and poets do, build community, share coffee, dream up new ways to love and old ways to reconcile love’s loss. Read and converse.
-Jim Minick, author of Without Warning
There is so much gifted in this book. It is a feast of giving, receiving, gifting on. It is, indeed, a kind of communal breathing, a chronicle of inspiration. I love the energies crackling-the tender, rigorous presence, the attunement to place, particulars, stillness, being-between the original poems’ titles/lines and Bill Brown’s wise and felt, celebratory responses to them. After Reading is both a Bill Brown collection and a kind of anthology, personal and communal; most of all, it’s a love letter to friends, to reading, to life.
-Thorpe Moeckel, author of Down by the Eno, Down by the Haw and According to Sand
In this wise and generous collection, poet Bill Brown shows us the power of a poetic community. “Peopled” with towhees, otters and “late red throated hummingbirds” encountered during pandemic social distancing, but peopled too with the remarkable poets and poems who sustain the author, as he now sustains us, his readers, with this “gift… carried with prayer, // sometimes joy, and often / in blue heron dreams.”
-Pauletta Hansel, Weatherford Award Winner, Cincinnati Poet Laureate Emeritus, author of Heartbreak Tree

The earth is under siege. With global warming and natural disasters an alien who first appeared in 1957 is back to wreak havoc by claiming he is a savior while plotting our final destruction.
Another alien is sent to stop him, but he is not sure humanity is worth saving after the damage to the planet.
Can a group of people who had no hope left in life help this alien see our worth and convince him to save us?
From the destruction of the Las Vegas Strip to cities worldwide, and all out warfare in our skies with American against American, the ice caps melting, the seas rising, the earth rushes to it’s own destruction.
Can it be stopped?
