Synopsis

"Brian Ellis' poems make me want to set fire to my house and run out of the flaming door, through the streets, the fields, up the buildings and across the moon."—Anis Mojgani, author

"...every turn and sudden stop is a satisfying lurch in the direction of growing up."— Simone Beaubien, The Boston Poetry Slam

His words shiver, babble, rant and constantly threaten to fall apart under the weight of their own gravity. Ellis' colorful voice is a strong addition to the Boston spoken word tradition. A second-hand microscope examining the fuzzy science of survival, Uncontrolled Experiments in Freedom is a manic and shimmering author at his creative zenith. Filled with tangentially familiar characters—family misremembered, or friends still to be met—all delivered with deft eloquence, frank eye for unlikely detail, and inescapable sense of punk nostalgia.
