In this book of poetry, photographs, and scripture, poet Nathan Brown expands the tradition of spiritual literary struggles by engaging with the Book of Job both as poetry and as catalyst for personal, contemporary questions of innocence and experience, faith and doubt.

(In My Sideways Heart, with consummate poetic skill, Brown...)
In My Sideways Heart, with consummate poetic skill, Brown explores the nuances of human relationships, and he does so with a courage and emotional honesty rare in contemporary American poetry. Are the poems in this collection "love poems"? Absolutely, but "love poems" skillfully absent the banal excesses of sentimentality. Brown writes with the confidence and directness of an experienced poet, and his seemingly simple diction belies the hard-earned wisdom stirring deep beneath the surface of his art. -Larry D. Thomas, 2008 Texas Poet Laureate

He appreciated the town, but says that the music machine, as an industry, destroyed his love for music He left Nashville and came back home where he enrolled in a creative writing course at the University of Oklahoma.
And, so far, he has never looked back.
