Unbathed Brains

Poems from Minnesota and the Milky Way . . .

Let us, the drafted, explain nature's reign.

Drenching's more wrenching in an unbathed brain.

In the boisterous burrows of Unbathed Brains, Dr. Hari Hyde ponders the poetical precincts of his journeys as a Minnesota farm boy, lovestruck adventurer, savvy scientist, and compunctious Christian.

Hari also recounts Minnesota miners, New Orleans nightlife, California's seaside sprites, Arizona's grand chasm, a Wyoming rodeo, a San Francisco storm, a Boston waterfront, Munich marionettes, Finnish immigrants, a River Cam legend, Copenhagen canals, a Seattle operatic parade, a Maryland brewpub, a New Jersey township, a Manhattan monument, Missouri steamboats, a sorcerous sauna, tempestuous trombonists, tractor trysts, a peevish pooch, ghostly graveyards, furtive forests, galactic grandeur, and the rural realms that weave wonder into our world.

The pulse of America's heartland patters in this poetry collection: Hereabouts, freedom once won stays snug, sacrosanct. Above all, Unbathed Brains bustles with mirth and exuberance.

Laugh into a sack.

Bag the blood of a laugh.

Oh, what we would give

To have what we have!
