New Book!

Pain Diary by Joseph D Reich, Brick Road Poetry Press
Written in the form of memoir or an old time shipping log, _Pain Diary:
Working Methadone & The Life & Times of the Man Sawed_ in Half can be viewed
as two free-flowing, stream of consciousness, confessional poems. Both are
set in sea-faring locations: New Bedford, home of Herman Melville and
birthplace of Moby Dick; and Plymouth, where the Pilgrims settled alongside
the Indian tribes of Massachusetts. While "Pain Diary" is a clinical term
for the log kept by patients and clients to detail the moments when they
feel most desperate and in crisis, the term is also an excellent descriptive
for this one-of-a-kind poetry that seems to spring out of raw emotion in
language that is, at one and the same time, natural, spontaneous and
desperate--the language of survival
