My name is Joey and I grew up in the sixties, in a rural town in Florida, along with my sister, Cissy. We weren't born to rule, but we were sure born to snoop. Now, sometimes stickin' your nose in where it doesn't belong, can help you discover things that you can't explain, while doing your best to stay out of harm's way. Some of my stories are based on real facts and some are not. You'll just have to take the time to read them and find out for yourself. Now, if that's not a sales pitch to buy my book, I don't know what is! Contact info...josephwarrenbrown@gmail.com.

In Joey Brown's Oklahomaography, crows, coyotes and thunder reflect the hard-won lives of the men and women who inhabit the land, and those who yearn to escape. These are splendid poems, filled with hard-edged narrative, the kinds of poems I like best. - Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Hank & Chloe, Bad Girl Creek, and The Owl & Moon Cafe These poems are snapshots and narratives of people, even whole towns, whose identities are drawn from their geography. Though most of them are set in Oklahoma, they are for anyone who understands the abiding connection to place. - Speer Morgan, Editor of The Missouri Review author of American Book Award winner The Freshour Cylinders"

This thesis is an exploratory quantitative sociological analysis of the financial knowledge and experience of undergraduate students who have borrowed student loans. It also explores students' feelings about their loans. I surveyed 100 undergraduate students who had contracted student loans to gather information about their knowledge of financial instruments and feelings about their student loan debt. To explore students' knowledge and feelings, I created three indices: knowledge, feelings, and financial cultural capital and tested for racial differences between Blacks and Whites. The knowledge index investigates students' knowledge of the terms of their loans and experience with basic financial instruments. The feelings index captures students' feelings about their loans. Financial cultural capital takes a multidimensional approach by investigating students' financial literacy, confidence, socialization, and current financial habits. Most students did not have high levels of knowledge or financial cultural capital; however, they felt slightly positive about their student loan debts. While there were no significant differences in the scores of Blacks and Whites on the feelings and financial cultural capital indices, the knowledge index yielded significant racial variation with Whites having higher levels of knowledge than Blacks.

Do not let the title fool you: The Feral Love Poems are not about love in the ordinary sense. They are masterful portraits of people and places in everyday moments, at their conflicted and laconic best. These pages are where "fields of mesquite pop phosphemic," and where impossible truths about the world rest. Brown turns the simple and everyday until the light catches its facets, showing us the glories of Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri that random travelers miss. She causes us to love the need and craziness she appreciates: "sometimes when I drive, I say prayers for people who need them." These poems are a small way of sharing the voices she hears and the weight of the moments she feels, along with love, anger, hurt, pride, and redeemingly, the desperation to be heard. In poems like "Explaining Here to my Mother-in-Law," Brown teaches us how to draw others into our own feral loves. If you've never before thought of exploring these places, this book will make you want to leave today.
