Every Bald Guy Looks Like My Brother, by Tess Conner

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

At its core, Every Bald Guy Looks Like My Brother is a collection of Love Poems, if not in the traditional sense. It is an exploration of love, in all its forms, and the innate creativity that can stem from it. It celebrates familial love, romantic love, and a love of the world that is larger than itself. In times of chaos and change, when worries can become larger than life, poetry can reduce the world down to a singular moment to be cherished.

Every Bald Guy Looks Like My Brother plays with forms and style to capture a specific nostalgia and universal longing. As a chapbook, it is a stretching exercise and a tribute to the beautiful things that inspire the artist in us all. It is a call to look outward, to loved ones and strangers, to achieve a calm within. It is written with love and dedicated to every reader.
