About the Book
What survives of us, if not words?
Lines Worth Remembering gathers the most arresting work from the 2024 BREW Poetry Award—poems that do more than impress; they endure.
Inside this collection are verses that ask, challenge, soothe, and provoke. They come from poets unafraid to confront the world and themselves, to ask impossible questions, and to offer language as both salve and blade. Here are moments made into meaning, raw edges shaped into rhythm.
As poet Mary Oliver once asked, “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” Perhaps one answer is to listen. Closely. To the voices in these pages.
Because some lines deserve to be remembered. And these?
These refuse to be forgotten.
