In his literary debut, Texas singer-songwriter and teacher Brian Berlin turns his ear for language toward the small moments of everyday life. First Thunder in Months is a collection of over a hundred approachable poems that explore ordinary things from unexpected, sometimes hilarious angles.

With unpretentious wit, Berlin captures familiar scenes where overlooked details take on surprising significance. His poems invite readers to look again at the everyday world—and perhaps see something they hadn’t before. What’s noticed in one poem may turn up again, differently, in another—each discovery making the book something more than the sum of its poems.
