Dead Flowers: a book of poetry

My new book of poetry, Dead Flowers, has just been published by Main Street Rag Publishing Company!  Click the button below to order your copy on Amazon.com!  It's also available through the Main Street Rag Bookstore, and both locations of Carmichael's Bookstore in Louisville, KY!

Here are some comments I've received about the book:

"What if Anne Sexton and T.S. Eliot had a baby and the baby was a  book of poems? Brenda Edgar has answered that question brilliantly in her new collection Dead Flowers. Existential dread has never been explored with more beautiful language and imagery. These poems are haunting and connected so well to the universal human experience that reading them may save your life (hyperbole not intended). This is a remarkable first book."

~Jim McGarrah, author of A Temporary Sort of Peace and A Balancing Act

"As we read Edgar’s beautiful words, we are but eclipse of moths  desperately attracted, magnetised by her red lantern of a book. Like a strange Virgil, her poems guide us with a lurid light into a layered descent in which death, decay, distress are met with a compassionate, amused eye, even. Melancholic and graceful, her prose is one to keep very close to our beating hearts." 

~Laetitia Barbier, Programming Director and Head Librarian, Morbid Anatomy
