Living and growing up in this environment instilled a great appreciation for the great outdoors. As life does, it takes many directions and with time affords us to learn and acquire skills, temperance, wisdom and knowledge. It is now with the wisdom and knowledge acquired through the hard knocks of life that Brion shares these poems with the reader.
Initially, these poems were intended as a written testament and history to be passed down to his daughters Amber and Moriah and six grandchildren; Tesla, Idalia, Anthony, Jessica, Joshua and Alexander. With letters and poems sent to Moriah that was doing time in prison for drug related issues, these poems were written with the intent and purpose to inspire and show of Brion’s own life and the reality of life in general.
These poems were shared with a few co-workers, his daughters and eventually were shared with women who have now been referred to as the Red Neck Fan Club who are incarcerated at Nevada’s Women Correctional Center in Jean, Nevada.
Brion hopes as you read these poems that you may also see into the life of one man and perhaps be inspired.view less
