"During the pandemic Bill Brown started reading friends' poems that he loved. He chose a quote from each poem, and he wrote a tribute poem as a response. That is how this book, After Reading, got its title. Brown selected poems from thirty poets, most of whom he knows and loves as friends"--
"The Headless Angel is a poetry collection divided into two sections, "The Truest Myth," and "What the Soul Ate." Bill Brown wrote these poems in his mid-sixties to explore aging, and surviving in this "often dark world" by paying attention to moments, solitude and the Creative Spirit of our natural world. Living in the Milky Way with over 300 billion stars, an un-understandable figure, is a true gift beyond our knowing. The poems are grouped seasonally, many are love poems to life, his wife, Suzanne, and the precious struggle to live each day at a time.

Recueil de nouvelles d'anticipation/science-fiction.On rencontre parfois d'étranges visiteurs. Parfois ils font peur, et parfois ils séduisent. Ils étonnent en tout cas par leur allure, leurs habitudes, ce qu'ils font deviner des mondes d'où ils arrivent, des civilisations d'ailleurs, d'hier, ou de nulle part. Christian Poslaniec en a réunis ici plusieurs, porteurs de mystères et de rêves, et de questions. A travers les histoires de Gérard Klein, de Bill Brown, de Robert Sheckley, de Julia Verlanger ou d'Erik Frank Russell, ou du plus ancien Théophile Gautier, on rit, on s'inquiète, on pousse des portes inattendues.
