Beschreibungen

Matthew Robb Brown met Carter Lee Aldridge at Saginaw Valley State University in 1973. They continued a friendship in Midland, Michigan, built around God, the arts, music, the outdoors, and literature--especially poetry--until 1978, when Aldridge moved, with most of his family, to Georgia to mitigate what they thought would be serious consequences from the energy crisis of the 1970s. He and Brown had corresponded before, and now continued this correspondence, sharing artworks, news, thoughts, and poems, until Aldridge's passing in 1990. Remember the Brotherhood contains all of Aldridge's known extant poems, plus found poems that Brown has created from their letters (Aldridge's language could be and often was poetic in all his writings), plus commentary and a few relevant poems by Brown.
Matthew Robb Brown has been writing and publishing poetry since 1969. He earned his master’s of fine arts in poetry at Ashland University (2016). His book,
<i>Again with the Light</i>, is from Resource Publications (2020). Matthew’s work has appeared in journals and anthologies, most recently
<i>Image</i> 102 and
<i>The Merton Journal</i> (Advent 2021). His friend Carter Lee Aldridge, who passed away in 1990, was a poet and print artist.

“This collection of poems is a tribute to a long and deep friendship between Matthew Robb Brown and Carter Lee Aldridge. Especially intriguing are the poems written as letters—or perhaps they are letters written as poems. The sometimes-intimate sharing illuminates the treasure of this brotherhood.”
<br>
<br> —Dwight Bitikofer, president emeritus, St. Louis Poetry Center

<br> “These brief poems with their short lines are but distilled wisdom, with all the simplicity yet profundity of haiku. Any one could stand as a starting point for contemplation. They also stand as a testimony of the friendship between the poet, who died over thirty years ago, and their editor, Matthew Robb Brown, who has collected and beautifully presented these treasures.”
<br>
<br> —Stephen Dunhill, editor,
<i>The Merton Journal</i>
