"Bits and Pieces is an innocuous title for a collection of poetry that is anything but innocuous. If your poetic taste is mainly for moons-Junes-spoons or bluebirds in the tree tops, stop right here and pick up something else. These bits and pieces are distillations of the grotesque realities of today - war, suffering, hatred and death.
After residing and working overseas for twelve years, Mr. Brokaw now makes his home in Missouri, where he is presently working on three continous volumes of poetry similar to Bits and Pieces."
