Brevity a collection of sixty poems focuses on how ordinary human lives intersect in brief particular moments The author weaves thoughtful paths of interlacing and repeating metaphors through doubt uncertainty and solitude through turns and defeats to the deeply rewarding joys of generational family and ultimately to a resounding final sense of belonging Excerpts Morning jog Silhouetted stark against grey skyrich dark brown in the wet fogbony hands of sapling branchesgrasping empty each gnarled knuckle glitteringwith a pendulous raindropjewels dangling clear on every thin joint waiting for springyet patientlyand not without reward Ends Silhouetted stark against grey skyrich dark brown in the wet fogbony hands of sapling branchesgrasping empty each gnarled knuckle glitteringwith a pendulous raindropjewels dangling clear on every thin joint waiting for springyet patientlyand not without reward Brevity author John KerlWritten between 1989 and 2024 Name s poems in Brevity have an aethereal character to them that made reading feel like it was as light as air I was breathing Did you feel that too The book is short but each poem deserves its own time I think rather than reading the book quickly in one sitting Simplicity for example is a poem about a blossoming love in the youth Reading it quickly would probably make you miss on the imagery that each word creates in the mind Same with Relay.
