Brian
I write poems for everyone.
My journey with poetry began between college lectures, but it truly took flight through the rhythm of my favorite songs and the landscapes of my travels. In 2002, I published my debut collection, Bull Head. Since then, I have evolved my craft across eight subsequent volumes.
For five years, I shared my work daily through "Brian’s Poem of the Day." That project blossomed into a deeper calling: a request to design a writing retreat focused on healing and spiritual growth for men. I’ve now had the privilege of co-leading this annual retreat for a decade.
I believe poetry is the language of the soul. It offers the depth and meaning we often crave, stirring our passions while anchoring us in the intuitive truth that there is always more to life than meets the eye.
