Review
A wit as sharp as Sedaris, a sensibility as poignant as Sexton, Brown manages to blur the lines between cult writer and poet with remarkable ease and grace. ---Anthem Magazine
He is probably America's greatest unknown literary talent. Derrick has blown honesty and humor into the darkness and has somehow made poetry cool again. ---Nylon Magazine
I Love Derrick Brown for the surprise of one word waking up next to each other. Truly an amazing talent. ---Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander
