Help Is on the Way
John Brehm
(Author)Description
Help Is On the Way takes readers from the subways of New York City to the savannas of Paleolithic Africa to the transplant ward of Kyoto University Hospital. But whatever their setting, these poems are enlivened by the subtle music, penetrating wit, and remarkable emotional honesty that won high praise for John Brehm's earlier collection, Sea of Faith, and constitute his singularly engaging voice.
