Jericho Brown’s poems have appeared in the The New Yorker, Best American Poetry, and The New Republic. His first book, PLEASE, won the American Book Award and his second book, THE NEW TESTAMENT, was named one of the best books of the year by Library Journal and the Academy of American Poets.

“In his second collection, 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.” — NPR.org
