Relict, published by Finishing Line Press

Relict is the result of the author’s struggle to figure out what the death of his father meant to him. Does a person become something different on the day they no longer have any living parents? A child becomes an adolescent, becomes an adult. A single person becomes part of a couple, becomes a parent, becomes again single either as a widow or through divorce. But we have no word for the stage of life that begins once both a person’s parents have died. This book is an attempt to document the feelings of grief, and to reconnect to a lost past through stories about ancestors, all without losing sight of a hopeful future.

"Brian Mosher, in his new collection of poems RELICT, searches for what remains after the loss of loved ones. ... Finally, what remains is this wonderful collection of poems." —David R. Surette, author of Tonic 

"This collection pairs the easy charm of storytelling with the biting grief of a poet grasping for the right words. The respect Mosher shows for those who came before him is tempered with the knowledge that he just doesn’t know any more than what he’s seen. And so what he shares with us are memories, lessons, histories of men who built family, tradition, and home for each other. This is a collection for those who have felt a legacy resting squarely on their shoulders and felt unsure of where to go next. Brian’s poetry reminds us to go with what we know to be true." –Sarah Jane Mulvey, Poet Laureate of the City of New Bedford

"A Muster of Melodious Musings", a collection of poems and song lyrics, published by Metaphysical Fox Press.

$15 plus shipping. 
Or....find me somewhere and I'll sell you an autographed copy for $15 with no shipping charge.

A muster is a gathering. Generals sometimes muster their troops, others might muster the courage to face a fear, or the energy to get through a difficult day. Here I've gathered some musings, dreams in verse, of greater or lesser poetic musicality. The poems here represent most of what I wrote between the years 2018-2024 (and one or two from before that). You'll also find an assortment of song lyrics covering a much longer period. I’ve never published any lyrics before, and since I’ve finally admitted to myself that I won’t ever be doing anything else with them, here they are.

It's difficult for me to keep mind on one topic for long, and this collection reflects that with a variety of subjects and styles. I hope you’ll find some items here to make you smile (or even laugh), some to make you think, and one or two to make you cry.
