Frontpew@paradise

JV Brummels' latest collection is frontpew@paradise is Brummels' best work to date; while the poems--as in his earlier collections, 614 Pearl, Cheyenne Line, City at War, Book of Grass, among others--focus upon the daily and particular concerns of the Great Plains and of ranch life, frontpew places Brummels' readers up close and personal into the sermon that a long life may be. The poems are not didactic by any means, but they are wise and contemplative, as the long road to paradise may be paved.
