As a literary agent, he is focused on non-fiction books about sports and athletes. Our conversation ranged from sports to atheism and a bunch of things in between. We discuss Brian’s poetic influences and how his poetry wrestles with issues of faith and doubt, and unanswered questions about life.
We have fun talking about the role of a literary agent, as well as sports stories and teams, and all in all, this is a really interesting chat. Tune in!
