A Companion of Lesser Brilliance
Poems by Eve Brackenbury & Paul McGlamery

A seduction so complete, readers will wonder if they themselves have fallen under her spell…

In A Companion of Lesser Brilliance, the moon embodies the feminine archetypes...oftentimes playing the goddess, sometimes the seductress, and occasionally the nurturing mother. She is, undeniably, a sensual symbol. Poets Eve Brackenbury and Paul McGlamery explore the spiritual and mystical complexities of the moon. Their poetry is not a statement of faith, nor is it an endorsement of religion.  It is an exploration of a darker, more intimate, and surprisingly feminine side to God. It is not just a collection of poems, but rather, the story of two lovers who are seduced by the moon. In this collection, the moon is not to be completely understood, nor should she be trusted.

 Paul's poetry is contemporary and timeless. He is known for riding trancsendental waves.  He is a hopeless romantic who has become disenchanted with his war-torn, polluted world. He is constantly apologizing for the sins of men and forever looking for a savior from among the female populous. A liberal thinker and left winger, his poetry is refreshingly honest, oftentimes humorous, and full of sensual and intellectual dichotomies. Paul is not a willing participant in organized religion, but his spirituality runs deep. The feminine goddess has been a popular subject in his poetry and personal inclinations for years.  This is most evident in his love for women…especially his beautiful wife, whom he often refers to as his very own goddess. www.authornation.com/pmac58

 Eve's poetry is smart, thought-provoking and endearing.  She is an optimist, who is enchanted by even the slightest evidence of wit and folly from among men. She’s a storyteller, above all else, and her poetry is often ‘fictional’ rather than biographical.  Unlike Paul, Eve is enamored with the world around her. She is a deeply spiritual woman; an independent thinker and fiercely faithful. A Christian with a questioning intellect, she refuses to conform to tradition. Her moon poetry reflects her spiritual love affair with the softer side of God. Much of her poetry shows a playful and creative style. Her imagery is erotic and honest, vulnerable and dangerous. Her biggest inspiration is the love affair she carries on shamelessly with her husband.  www.authornation.com/Calliope

 This spell-binding collection is the product of a writer’s friendship developed online in one of the internet’s premier writer’s communities.

His poems, featuring the playful and sarcastic antics of the ghost of Bukowski, have become a special treat for his large fan base. Eve is better known as Calliope at AuthorNation and is considered the resident "muse." She offers bits of writing wisdom with her Muse Meditations series as well as sharing her poetic musings with her fans.
