JOHN BRYAN plunders the ancients

To the Unlikely Stories home pageWith tools like butterflies, ancient civilizations, and refrigerators, John Bryan has created his own unique and incredibly powerful set of symbols. His poems show us death, decay, and defeat in unique and strange ways, while nonetheless offering us hope and a belief in the human ability to triumph. His symbols literally and figuratively quiver with energy, creating a fascinating reading experience.
