Welcome to jeffbrainart.com
I draw, paint and write poetry and prose about baseball and a few other things. I think you will enjoy the energy, spontaneity and life of these pieces. The site will be growing, so please check in often. You will find a variety of images in the galleries linked to the left.
Encouraged by the late, fellow baseball poets, John Oliver Simon and Jack Hirschman, I began writing about baseball, and was published in Poets11. Here is a link to the reading where I was one of 33 poets sharing selected pieces from the anthology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtoUHNKbAWI&feature=related
Here is a second poetry link, from the 2013 Poets 11 anthology:

My work appears in Baseball Bard,
Spitball magazine, and The Twin Bill. I was one of twenty featured poets in the first annual National Baseball Poetry Festival in Worcester, MA in spring 2023, and will be there for the second annual in spring of 2024.
Resources from my speaking engagements related to my former work pre-retirement in education are posted on this site. Click Education Resources link to the left.
