Kevin Brophy, An Inventory of Longing

Full-length collection (104 pp.)

With its astonishing imagery, An Inventory of Longing reminds us that, even in the face of injustice and grief, delight in language is the wellspring of poetry.
– David McCooey

Brophy’s characteristic communal humanity and wit have been honed into poems of hard-edged, scything compassion. Reading him, I am re-enchanted with the art of observational contemplation.
