No Day at the Beach

2020

“Evident throughout these irresistible, often self-deprecating poems (‘It’s no day at the beach / being me’) are Brehm’s persuasive wonderings, his engaging explorations, his vital need to know. Open the book anywhere and you won’t want to put it down.”
—Andrea Hollander, author of Blue Mistaken for Sky

NEBRASKA

After watching
Nebraska

a film shot
entirely

in black
& white

in my
home state

I told my
friend as

the credits
rolled

“You know,
they shot

that in
color, that’s

just what
Nebraska

looks
like” and

he said
“Really?”

and I said
“Jesus, no,

man,”
secretly

happy he
considered it.
