Book excerpt: Matthew Robb Brown met Carter Lee Aldridge at Saginaw Valley State University in 1973. They continued a friendship in Midland, Michigan, built around God, the arts, music, the outdoors, and literature—especially poetry—until 1978, when Aldridge moved, with most of his family, to Georgia to mitigate what they thought would be serious consequences from the energy crisis of the 1970s. He and Brown had corresponded before, and now continued this correspondence, sharing artworks, news, thoughts, and poems, until Aldridge’s passing in 1990. Remember the Brotherhood contains all of Aldridge’s known extant poems, plus found poems that Brown has created from their letters (Aldridge’s language could be and often was poetic in all his writings), plus commentary and a few relevant poems by Brown.
