Honored as a Best Book of 2014 by Library Journal Honored as a Standout Book of 2014 by American Poet magazineWinnner of the Thom Gunn Award for Gay PoetryPaterson Award for Literary Excellence, 2015 NPR.org writes: In his second collection, The New Testament, Brown treats disease and love and lust between men, with a gentle touch, returning again and again to the stories of the Bible, which confirm or dispute his vision of real life. \'Every last word is contagious, \' he writes, awake to all the implications of that phrase. There is plenty of guilt--survivor\'s guilt, sinner\'s guilt--and ever-present death, but also the joy of survival and sin.

Don\'t you have a story For me?--like the one you tell With fingers over my lips to keep me From sighing when--before the queen Is kidnapped--the prince bows To the enemy, handing over the horn Of his favorite unicorn like those men Brought, bought, and whipped until They accepted their masters\' names.
