When Love Becomes Still-Life is a collection of poems and short stories drawn from the heart of memory, family, and place. At once lyrical and unflinching. Paul Brookman reflects on life as a saloonkeeper's son growing up around a tavern in Washington, D.C. and his adult life in along the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis, Maryland. The poems capture Still-Life moments while the short stories of The Saloonkeeper's Son resilience and the passage of time. In the final tale, Picture in the Tavern, the everyday becomes legend, illuminated with the weight of history and intimacy of lived experience. Paul has turned his life into art and asks readers to consider the still-life moments in their own lives.
