Garrett J. Brown​
Writing with precise details and razor-sharp metaphors - reminiscent of Marianne Moore - Brown interweaves past and present. He reminisces about spring cleaning in Baltimore, for example, where with 'a yellow bucket sloshing with soapy water' and his father's old bowling shirt, he washed the marble steps of his home on Pratt Street, intent on removing visible city grime. Now, he wonders whether this marble block, as with Michelangelo's, contained art that called out for release.
