No Day at the Beach (Wisconsin Poetry Series)

No Day at the Beach is a thought-provoking collection of poems that invites readers on a spiritual journey through loneliness, past pull, grace, and impermanence.

With unflinching honesty and sparkling language, John Brehm takes readers along his path of self-discovery, offering humor and empathy in each poem.

The book is informed by Brehm's Buddhist practice and enlivened by his comic insights, making it a universal read that both luxuriates in the moment and reflects on spiritual depth.

Throughout these irresistible poems, Brehm's engaging explorations and vital need to know are evident, proving him to be a true wit for our time.

Whether directed towards those troublesome shell casings or a beautiful woman who may smile at you despite your wreck of a body, these poems offer a hard look at who we are and what we can do about it.
