Brick Road Poetry Press

poetry made to entertain, amuse, and edify

The mission of Brick Road Poetry Press is to publish and promote poetry that entertains, amuses, edifies, and surprises a wide audience of appreciative readers.  We are not qualified to judge who deserves to be published, so we concentrate on publishing what we enjoy. Our preference is for poetry geared toward dramatizing the human experience in language rich with sensory image and metaphor, recognizing that poetry can be, at one and the same time, both familiar as the perspiration of daily labor and as outrageous as a carnival sideshow.

Miracle Strip, a poetry collection by Matt Layne, is a hybrid of the written and spoken word. Each piece of the collection has an embellished QR code which, when scanned, transforms you from reader into listener.

 

In the campfire tradition of storytelling, the first line of the book invites you to “tell me your story, and I will tell you mine,” and like a couple of backwoods adventurers, you and the poet travel through intricate memories of the deep south and visit the ghosts who haunt its environs as you journey through Miracle Strip.
