Zen in Beverly Hills

In Brian Wood’s third poetry collection, Zen in Beverly Hills, each word has been meticulously chosen, and each stanza is a technical masterpiece that takes readers on a nostalgic journey into the beauty and inelegance of our humanity. Harkening back to such inspirational writers as Dante, W.H.Auden, Shakespeare, Frost, and Philip Larkin, readers will delight at Wood’s approach to religion and faith, sweetness and love, and the grief of losing a family pet. Wood’s poems have been featured in the Poetry Superhighway’s 28th Annual Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day collection) and Madswirl anthology as well as in their print edition. He is the author of Winter Walk and Weekend Getaway at Generic Hotel and recordings of his recent poetry read by Canadian celebrities Peter Mansbridge, Shelah Rogers, James Duthie and Bob McKenzie can be found on the author’s page on the main site Equation Books.
