As contemporary poets sing the glories of birds and birch trees, regular guys are left scratching their heads. Who can speak for Everyman? Who will articulate his love for Xbox 360, for Mama Celesteโs frozen pizza, for the cinematic oeuvre of Bruce Willis?ย
Enter Broetryโa stunning debut from a dazzling new literary voice. โBroet Laureateโ Brian McGackin goes where no poet has gone beforeโto Star Wars conventions, to frat parties, to video game tournaments, and beyond. With poems like โOde to That Girl I Dated for, Like, Two Months Sophomore Yearโ and โMy Friends Who Donโt Have Student Loans,โ we follow the Bro from his high school graduation and college experience through a โquarter-life crisisโ and beyond.
