Partielles:  Incomplete Solutions  by Joshua Tyler Brown
 ISBN: 0-9766652-6-3

Joshua Tyler Brown's Partielles: Incomplete Solutions touches the reader with an innate sense of earnest anxiety coupled with a robust joy for life. Brown's rhythmic short lines burst from the page like shots from an old Gattling gun, a weapon revisited in the poem "Wounded Knee," one of the more profound offerings herein. Readers will recognize themselves along this partial journey that offers that in this world there are only incomplete glimpses and few answers to life's greatest questions.

"Wounded Knee"

Did I see you there
at Wounded Knee
looking into the dry river bed
spirits and shadows still remain
dry gulch bed has turned
to blood

the dead
live on
to tell their tale

painted warriors on the way
faces of abandoned children
shattered
hunted down by Calvary soldiers
mothers with babies
in their arms
shot down
and left to die
fatal

were you there
at Wounded Knee
amid the chaos of horse hooves
and Gattling gun
amid the violence and the apathy
of people who knew Natives lived there
and did not support them

were you among the living
or were you among those
who risked it all

running for your life
