Ron Bremner's new book of poetry is published!
"You Who Are the Stranger: Collected Poems 1979–1989
In You Who Are the Stranger, R. Bremner gathers a decade of poems that wander city streets, back rooms, dreams, and memories with an unflinching eye and a restless heart. Here are poems that drift like smoke rings and strike like thunderclaps, moving from cab rides through Paterson to late-night reckonings with fathers, lovers, and ghosts.

Bremner’s voice—by turns raw, tender, irreverent, and luminous—captures the grit of sidewalks, the ache of longing, and the absurdities of living. His poems wrestle with responsibility and rebellion, the weight of history, and the fleeting, fragile brilliance of art.

From intimate portraits to surreal vignettes, these works testify to a life both ordinary and extraordinary, where every bus ride, back alley, and broken mirror becomes a stage for meaning. "

Advance Praise for Death Cleaning and Other Units of Measure:
Death Cleaning and Other Units of Measure shows another aspect of Burke's range as an author who speaks to the concerns of our times with great wisdom." - Alice Elliott Dark, author of Fellowship Point, Think of England, In The Gloaming, Naked to the Waist

With Only the Women are Burning, Nancy Burke has created a novel that defies easy categorization. It’s an incredibly plausible science fiction tale that dips into horror. It’s a small-town mystery and personal drama. It’s a searing feminist condemnation of caste systems and patriarchal oppression. Truly, it’s all of these things simultaneously. - Angie Barry, Criminal Element
