Pity for Sale

5/5 ( ratings)

"Pity For Sale, the latest collection by multimedia cognoscente Tony Brewer, is an inexhaustible thread of musicality, smacking through the bare-boned truths of our time. Cleverly sardonic with righteous fluidity, he unpacks the framework of what is necessary to reflect on: Western culture symbolizing the Ouroboros. The agroecological descendants strutting with pride and constructing passionate, and almost primitive identities. Political dependency breeding dehumanization, yet the next round's on you to honor kept company. Brewer appraises "weighing the stars" as an anecdotal process while nodding to the culture jammers. It is a jolt-wrung declaration to "the tough love motherfuckers, full of backbone & bite." This is the rush unearthed from your pining for more."
-Brooke Nicole Plummer, author of Ceremonious and Shutting Up For the Drillbit

"In his latest collection, Tony Brewer uses literary word play to create small acts of magic. These pieces jump around, using both elements of his life as well as the culture we all have to swim in, be it pop or otherwise. Pity for Sale is full of regret and hope and music. It has a life of its own, a life that is both relatable and private, one that Brewer is asking his readers to tap into and to bear witness, with each poem--offering another chance to begin again."
