Top 40 - Paperback

by Brandon Brown (Author)

Writing through the Top 40 pop songs on the chart of September 14, 2013, Brandon Brown's poems track the life of a song as it resounds through an organism. This organism bathes, reads, writes, likes, fights, loves, hates, and fucks; the soundtrack never stops.
