“Durutti Column on the DC Metro” by Ed Brickell
because they lived for doing, for telling others what to do, / for anger with strategic purpose, leaving and arriving / at their homes in darkness holding hours more of work

Lee’s wins were against the B team. If you couldn’t beat the likes of McClellan and Hooker you weren’t trying.

Another recent poem of mine, “Without Mountains,” has been nominated for the 2026 Best of the Net Anthology. Grateful to have poems nominated by two journals this year. If you like Nature-themed poetry, Bracken is special. #poem #poetry #BookSky

Two Poems by Ed Brickell — Bracken
An afternoon of bright needles on our faces. The frozen lake, the tree-dark shoreline. Our hiking poles tapped the ice on the trail, boots crunching.

A poem of mine is being shared in the Winter 2025 issue of Susurrus. They always feature a different photographer as part of their graphic design – in this issue it’s Scott Craig from Roanoke, VA. Grateful to be included with him and a terrific gathering of Southern writers. #poetry #poem #BookSky

This is the sort of wannabe Platonic nonsense that made me cancel my subscription years ago. It won’t help your bosses avoid the eventual and inevitable purge, should the corruption and lawlessness be allowed to continue - and if you continue to normalize it.

One of my two forever Senators. They are quite the pair. I call their offices nearly every morning, just to let them know someone doesn’t agree.

He will never not be a pompous ass who enjoys pontificating about things of which he has no idea, but at least he’s not endlessly bitching about COVID restrictions.

If we somehow eventually find out he’s dealing with early stage Lewy Body Dementia - having lost two family members to it - I won’t be at all surprised.

Deleted my Amazon account two months ago and have only felt the impact in neutral or net positive ways. As one example, a food product I used to subscribe to via Amazon I now buy directly from the manufacturer - and they include meaningful free extras with every order.
