Advance Praise for On The Other Side of the Eye
‚It's great to see a new collection of verse by such an
insightful and widely-cultured writer who's doing such
pioneering work.‛
-Minister Faust,

and
The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad
‚Bryan Thao Worra’s brave and powerful inquiries in
On theOther Side of the Eye
are poems of vision and borders, nationsand alienation, and location and speculation. There is alonging and a leaning toward home, with an understandingthat with some courage and some questioning, meaning iswithin our grasp. Each poem here is charged andcompassionate, accurate and new. We move from theMississippi River to Kouangsi Falls, and we are fortunate to be in such good hands. This is a book I will return to againand again.

This Many Miles From Desire
‚Equal parts pop culture brainiac and soulful political
commentator, mad scientist of the word and clear eyedreporter of truth, Bryan Thao Worra has a voice and a story born to be heard, yet he never lets his importance overwhelmhis art. I imagine that these great, bristling poems are makingthis book burst apart at the seams. We should all be glad thathis words can be contained on something so flimsy as paper.
These poems demand you, and you are better for it.‛
