Evident throughout these irresistible, often self-deprecating poems 'It's no day at the beach / being me') are Brehm's persuasive wonderings, his engaging explorations, his vital need to know. Open the book anywhere and you won't want to put it down." - Andrea Hollander, author of Blue Mistaken for Sky " No Day at the Beach navigates a world that is by turns tragic, ironic, absurd, stunning, and unpredictably hilarious. In these wise, uncommonly empathic poems, Brehm proves himself to be a true wit for our time." - Fred Muratori, author of A Civilization "These keen-eyed, often witty poems take a hard look at who we are and what we can do about it. Many of them are directed toward those troublesome shell casings, our bodies. Yet, as the poem 'Fedora' says, a beautiful woman may smile at you and your jaunty hat anyway-she needn't know what a wreck you are. These poems are good for what ails us all.


" - David Kirby, author of More Than This.
