Born the Year of Butterfly Knife

Butterfly Knife contains such award winning pieces such as "The Kurosawa Champagne," A Finger, Two Dots, Then Me," "Pleased to Meet You Yellow," "The Chinese Elevator" and "Hot for Sorrow." These are his classic, unforgettable works of poetry and fiction from 1993-2004. "A wit as sharp as Sedaris, a sensibility as poignant as Sexton, Brown manages to blur the lines between cult writer and poet with remarkable ease and grace." "Derrick Brown's work-both on and off the page-sizzles with jolting images and blasts of humor, yet retains a deep compassion at it's core. He has a heart the size of a Mack truck, but we're not sure who's behind the wheel." "Sincere, twisted and violently romantic."
