I discovered a poet because I read his novel first.
Some had recommended Hold Fast, the second novel by Spencer K.M. Brown. It’s the story of a father and his adult son, how they deal with grief, and how the adapt to the loss of their individual dreams. It’s a beautiful story, set on the stark, cold shore of Lake Superior.
I learned that Brown had published a previous novel, “Move Over Mountain” (2022), and a poetry chapbook (2024), “Cicada Rex.” Given this was year of the cicada, at least around my neighborhood, I had to read the poetry collection.
