Every poet, warns Randy Brown, has a heart filled / with shrapnel. In his new chapbook So Frag & So Bold, the former U.S. Army brigade staff jester takes aim at endless wars, parent traps, social media, and stodgy religious beliefs. It's an iconoclastic cluster-munition that's bursting with hundreds of haiku, aphorisms, philosophical puzzles, and other experiments in pithy and pulpy poetry. Brown's careful constructions of line-breaks and language are intended to variously provoke chuckles, empathy, and thought. Any poem is a device, he writes, improvised to explode with meaning [...] ignited by a trigger / word. Get ready for amusement, bemusement, and plenty of pyrotechnics!
