When Love Becomes Still-Life is a collection of poems and short stories rooted in memory, love, and the humor of everyday life. From his father's tavern in Washington, D.C. to his later life in Annapolis on the Chesapeake Bay, and Ocean City's boardwalks, to the voices of family, friends, and strangers, these pieces capture moments that linger long after they've passed.
At turns tender, playful, and raw, Paul Brookman writes of a father who boxed for survival, of prankster angels and barroom laughter, of feeling summers, and a love preserved like still-life on the wall.
This debut blends poetry with narrative snapshots, inviting the reader into a world both intimate and universal - where the ordinary becomes unforgettable.
