The News is more than a venture into art by someone prominent in another field. In these poems, an unconventional subject for poetry is dealt with from within, by a real poet.”Robert Pinsky
As a nationally recognized correspondent and anchor for the PBS NewsHour, Jeffrey Brown has reported on important events around the world. In his debut poetry collection, The News, he re-imagines and re-tells his experiences through poems that explore stories he’s covered, places he’s gone, people he’s met, the thrills and doubts of his profession, as well as the profound intimacy of family. In these pages we hear the narratives of artists, inmates, cadets, and survivors of the world’s tragedies, as Brown conveys both suffering and triumph with a music that pays tribute to the multitude of human voices, opening his own life and expression for public viewing. Full of self-examination, brave honesty, and wry humor, The News captures not what’s on one side of the lens but all that surrounds it.
In his introduction to the book, former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky writes, "Jeffrey Brown in this book apprehends some specific realities: the news as a medium and the news that is the medium’s object. Brown’s poetry examines that material in a new way, giving it a fresh, urgent form .By honoring the human voice, Jeffrey Brown has brought a remarkable, fresh kind of attention to these questions of identity and presence, delusion and awarenessin the specific realm of television news and in life itself.”
"Brown’s experiences before the relentless eye of the camera and within the churn and pressure of theperpetual news cycle as an Emmy Awardwinning journalist and chief arts and culture correspondent for PBS’ NewsHour shapes his strikingly forthright poems. Brown’s directness is professional in origin, but he is keenly aware of and haunted by what’s missing from the news, which is why he seeks 'another angle' in poetry."Booklist
Haiti: Kacite
We, who lie, who cannot say
for there is no good way to put this
we are here to show the horror of your life.
In Kacite they passed out purification tablets
displayed with pride their new latrine.
A woman sweeping her dusty steps
asked to act naturally for the camera
to act as though we're not here
more honest and aware than us, replied:
How can I pretend that you are not here?
Was that not you who spoke just now?

So much sadness in the world witnessed close up, yet reflected in a thoughtful way we can all recognize the tangle of human relations, mentality of war, etc. Would it were more hopeful.

A Poet Who Wants To Be Understood By Russ Allison Loar Kudos to Jeffrey Brown who breathes life into verse by writing about the real world in which we live and elevating it to the realm of poetry. Robert Frost once said, "I am one of those poets who wants to be understood." We need more poets who have this same ambition. Thankfully, Jeffrey Brown is one of them.

Roffman Commonly, at the end of a PBS NewsHour story, viewers are encouraged to go to the program's website for more information. In THE NEWS: POEMS, Jeffrey Brown, a 25 year veteran of the NewsHour, offers a different option, one that I savored. His poetry offers glimpses, not of a story captured by the camera, but of the mindset of the one who has placed the camera in that spot and is peering into the viewfinder. Here, in lands devastated by war or by nature's calamity, he struggles to breathe, finding air and perhaps refuge in the art of writing, making meaning. There, having interviewed a luminary, he reflects and expands, claiming for himself personal gifts from the exchange. When I came to the five Honor Roll poems, each dedicated to a service member who perished in war and all beautifully told with an artist's homage, five stars for this book were a certainty.
