Synopsis

Tony Brewer’s latest chapbook is a poetic archive of projectiles—all those things that emerge from orifices in trajectories—imagined bullets from firearm muzzles (“Dad’s old 12 gauge,” “a Crossman 760 BB rifle”); terse speculations from the mouths of the confessional speaker (“Cause of death: gunshot – multiple,” “The papers ignite but no memory is lost”); multiple projections coaxed from the reader of these clean, spare lines—backward into Brewer’s deeply haunting personal past, and forward into a future when gun control debates will be resurrected with each mass shooting. Quiet fire runs through these poems as they exhibit a stoic mastery of control, like precisely aimed bullets through gunmetal silver. ---—Hiromi Yoshida, author of Icarus Burning
