Yesterday Won't Goodbye

Brian S. Ellis' second book, Yesterday Won't Goodbye, begins with birth and then travels exercising the meaning of origin and the experience of time.
Through his wild origins of fresh language and the kind of punk rock Americana that sings with open arms in powerful poetic form, the poems exist to themselves but also carry others within each.
Praise
"...Ellis expertly shifts between free verse poetry and creative non-fiction, consistently producing work that is captivating and original, all while having one of the most dynamic, affective, and unapologetically raw live performances anywhere."
-Jared Paul
"Brian Stephen Ellis is borne of ... gutter punk. Marmalade. Unwashable stain. His poems speak with an unbridled urgency yet come to you patient, coy, brimming with wisdom-and acutely aware of their own necessity. Read these poems. You've never been so alive."
-Jeanann Verlee
