Kent. 2015. February 2015. Kent State University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781606352373. Wick Poetry Chapbook Series Five, #5. 5½ x 8½. 46 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION - ‘Local Fauna opens with a meta-poem about Jack Spicer, and I couldn't help but think of his ‘dictated' poetry, poetry as vessel, poetry getting down what needs to be said. Brian Brodeur's poems have this urgency - life, death, cruelty, politics, war, capitalism, and love. Hard truths come through the past, radio interviews, zoo animals, neighbors, personas, and pop songs. Brian Brodeur's poetry has insistence and morality, nclusivity and beauty. Local Fauna is terrific.' - Denise Duhamel. ‘Brian Brodeur's formal skill, his feel for the whole history beneath a sentence, a line, a syllable, is matched here only by his unsentimental compassion for the people he renders in his poems. I can think of few other poets who capture what contemporary American life actually feels, looks, and sounds like as movingly as Brodeur does. Poems such as ‘Cousins,' ‘Local Fauna,' and ‘The Register' will be with us for a long time indeed. Brian Brodeur is a marvel.' - Peter Campion. inventory #41551.…

“Brian Brodeur’s formal skill, his feel for the whole history beneath a sentence, a line, a syllable, is matched here only by his unsentimental compassion for the people he renders in his poems. I can think of few other poets who capture what contemporary American life actually feels, looks, and sounds like as movingly as Brodeur does. Poems such as ‘Cousins,’ ‘Local Fauna,’ and ‘The Register’ will be with us for a long time indeed. Brian Brodeur is a marvel.”
