UPROAR'S YOUR ONLY MUSIC, New Poems and Memoir by Brian Brett, is a two-part book—the first a prose memoir, the second is a selection of new poems, and it's an inspiring read about his androgynous life, his search for identity, his bouts of despair, his battles with his father, and his eventual limited successes as an author and a poet. -Reviewed by M. Wayne Cunningham, CBRA.
The two sections of this collection retrace the author's androgynous childhood and beyond, unearthing both laughter and wounds while travelling from the hills of Italy and the back country of China to the magical landscape of the Gulf Islands.
