  | | Country of Ghost(1st Edition) by Gaylord Brewer Paperback, 120 Pages, Published 2015 by Red Hen Press ISBN-13: 978-1-59709-313-2, ISBN: 1-59709-313-0 "Gaylord Brewer's ninth collection of poetry, Country of Ghost, is by turns harrowing, haunted, and darkly humorous, and always deeply felt. When the figure Ghost appears—crossing a bridge in Spain, beside a river of the dead in France, across a midnight lake in Finland—our speaker follows into a ravenous geography of longing and regret. In this astounding sequence of poems, who has summonsed whom? Brewer's folie à deux explores both the ..." |

Brewer’s persistent obsessions—translating the call and challenge of the feral world, negotiating some truce with privat ..." |

Alternately aggressive, outrageous, whimsical, and heartfelt, the poems are never predictable but always authentic. The author has such a genius for phrasing that there are many lines that make the reader stop and sigh or smile. A dark and delicious volume." ―Dana Gioia "Barbaric Mercies, Mr. Brewer’s finest book of poems yet, seamlessly weaves ..." |

 | | Charles Bukowski(1st Edition) (United States Authors Series) by Gaylord Brewer Hardcover, 215 Pages, Published 1997 by Twayne Publishers ISBN-13: 978-0-8057-4558-0, ISBN: 0-8057-4558-0 "Apropos of his reputation as the underground poet, Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) developed a public persona of poseur, abusive performer, and violent curmudgeon. Bukowski's embrace of this self-aggrandizing image belies his dedication to the trade of writing. The poem was his lifeline to sanity, to immediate reclamation of daily events, and to the transformation of the mundane into the extraordinary. His poems, short stories, and novels, ..." |

Against a backdrop of dog walking and the bloated throat sac of the male siamang gibbon, through a gauntlet of good ole home cookin’ and the beatific lunch specials of the deli Cheeses Christ, to a soundtrack of soap operas and his own labored breathing, our protagonist, Octavius Trotter―lonely, hungry ..." |
 | | Give Over, Graymalkin(1st Edition) by Gaylord Brewer Paperback, 120 Pages, Published 2011 by Red Hen Press ISBN-13: 978-1-59709-493-1, ISBN: 1-59709-493-5 " From python hunting to Swami Keerti’s laughing meditation, from a death in the family to a burial on the rural acres where he’s stood his ground for a decade, Gaylord Brewer extends and explodes his career-long obsessions in Give Over, Graymalkin. This 8th collection of poems is a journal of loss and recovery, departure and surprising return, fleeting hours in a world diminished yet wondrous. Seas writhe with uncharted beasts. Horseme ..." |
 | | The Poet's Guide to Food, Drink, & Desire by Gaylord Brewer, James Dankert Paperback, 270 Pages, Published 2015 by Stephen F. Austin University Press ISBN-13: 978-1-62288-065-2, ISBN: 1-62288-065-X "Gaylord Brewer’s The Poet’s Guide to Food, Drink, & Desire is an immediately delightful and surprising work by one of this country’s best poets. Indeed, the poet himself calls this book a “quirky volume,” the genesis being the desire to create something substantially different and sustained. Since food “had been increasingly creeping into my poetry,” Brewer writes, and because he had been asked to write anecdotally about recipes by a j ..." |

These poems are delivered with the perfect clarity of everyday language." ―The Cafe Review "Brewer is the most consistently dark-side-of-the-moon poet around...his...athletic style exactly suits the subject." ―Hugh Fox, Small Press Review (Review of Presently A Beast) "I love the edgy laughter I hear on almost ev ..." |

The masterful tempo of his work convinces me that what he says is what must be said, thought and emotion unfolding in natural order. I enjoy his imagery, am drawn to the self revealed, but it's the breath of this book that I believe."-Bob Hicok; "One of our best poets, ..." |

Gaylord Brewer's third book of poetry evokes all the senses through its use of metaphor, character, landscape and precise imagery with tough, memorable writing.

Hardcover, 352 Pages, Published 2000 by Lexington Books ISBN-13: 978-0-7391-0091-2, ISBN: 0-7391-0091-2 "Naming the Father is a collection of essays on the subject of fatherhood: its enduring power, its secret ruses, its unsettling provocations. Despite the considerable critical attention devoted to motherhood in literature-and despite the late-twentieth-century focus on patriarchy-there is surprisingly no comparable collection on fatherhood. This volume was born of the conclusion that critics of modern and contemporary literature may comp ..." |
