Authors Talk: Brandon Amico
Today we are pleased to feature poet Brandon Amico as our Authors Talk series contributor.
Brandon Amico has a conversation with his friend Kylie Brown, a musician and music instructor at the Asheville Music School, on his poems “If You Like This Poem,” “Occupational Hazard,” and “Housing Complex” featured in Issue 21.
Amico and Brown discuss connection and disconnection in the modern world, perspectives, and the uses of language in his poems. Amico ends the conversation by expanding on the theme of “incompleteness” found in all three poems and the concept of “framing with words” seen in “Housing Complex.”
Brandon Amico’s poems appear in Issue 21 of Superstition Review.
