Lost Sheep recounts the author's journey from the "real" world of 1970s America to the rollicking, freedom-loving, outlaw world of Aspen. Blending personal narrative, local history, dramatic interlude, and cultural analysis, the story begins as a literal journey but quickly evolves into the memoir of an entire town-a time and place many consider to be Aspen's "Golden Age," when artists, eccentrics, and outlaws took over the city and transformed it into an alpine bohemia. The noteworthy cast of characters-famous, infamous, and unknown-includes Claudine Longet, Jack Nicholson, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, Steve Martin, and Ted Bundy. The local residents are even more colorful, from a woman who feeds her dog nothing but vegetables to a bookstore owner who believes in "psychic surgeries," while everywhere art is being made-and a good deal of hay.

Poetry. "In TIME-BOUND, Kurt Brown engages with the world he inhabits, questioning it, taking nothing for granted, prizing a broad and deep knowledge of it, both past and present, local and cosmic. The condition indicated by the book's title is one the poet does not accept resignedly but challenges by means of his art; confronting history's long amnesia, he would reclaim much of what has been lost—people, events, places, whole epochs—and serving him in this reclamation project are two weapons in particular: his appetitive intellect, never satisfied with easy answers, and his impressive command of language, which allows him a wide range of modes from the virtuosic to the plain-spoken. TIME-BOUND offers poetry for grown-ups, who face unblinkingly the world as it is and do so with existential courage."—Philip Dacey

The Blind Mans Elephant is a collection of essays and reviews written during the many years author and poet Kurt Brown taught craft classes. It is for writers who want to hone their craft and for readers with an interest in understanding how poetry works at a deeper level. The uniqueness of this book lies in its broadening the idea of craft it takes a more wide-ranging approach to the subject than most, including historical context and perennial poetic issues along with special technical considerations. The book is divided into two parts: Analysis, which comprises the craft essays; and Assessment which comprises a number of reviews on notable contemporary poets and their books. What is said in the reviews both reflects and reinforces points made about craft in the essays, demonstrating how thinking about craft, and practicing it in one s own poems, might be made of further use when considering the work of others.
