Uncontrolled Experiments In Freedom: By Brian S. Ellis
Brian Ellis' poems make me want to set fire to my house and run out the flaming door, through the streets, the fields, up the buildings and across the moon.   -Anis Mojgani, "Over the Anvil We Stretch”Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom is filled with tangentially familiar characters - family misremembered, friends still to be met - all delivered with Brian's deft eloquence and inescapable sense of punk nostalgia.  -Simone Beaubien, Boston poetUncontrolled Experiments in Freedom is full of good reminders. One: there is beauty everywhere. Two: be nice to the guy at the register. He could be writing poems like these. Three: Brian Ellis is one of the greatest young voices out there. Scary good. Scary, scary good.  -Megan Thoma, teacher
