“Chicago-based writer Brandi Homan’s first full length collection of poems, Hard Reds<\/em>, is a fun read chock full of all those things hard red<\/em> might suggest\u2014nightlife, violence, passion, red dresses, sex, playfulness, paper hearts, lipstick, blood, and more.  Divided in three sections, each section title also evokes the color red: ‘Like the Devil,’ ‘Two Kinds of Arson,’ and ‘The Valentine Factory.’ The author\/speaker of the poems is someone who is not afraid to play with fire, someone who lives fast and hard, experiencing life in its fullest\u2014all the ins and outs, ups and downs. With a careful eye for detail, Homan is unabashed and direct. A little like Johnny Rotten, Homan may not know what she wants, but she knows how to get it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In her second collection, Bobcat Country<\/em>, Brandi Homan pulls a surprising bit of bait and switch. She calls the things contained therein ‘poems,’ but really, they are some of the funniest, saddest, most honest and raw pieces of autobiographical prose to come along in some time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
