Bryan Borland is a Pushcart-nominated poet from Little Rock, Arkansas, and the owner of Sibling Rivalry Press, LLC, a young publishing house whose goal is to develop, promote, and market underground artistic talent those who don't quite fit into the mainstream. As a poet, Bryan writes primarily narrative poems that create portraits of moments through words. Whether chronicling old friends and lovers in his "Book of" series ("Book of David," "Book of Cody," "Book of Dmitri," etc.) or inviting us into his family through poems like "Sons of Abraham" and "Supper," Bryan seeks to poetically etch tally marks into the walls of life; to, in essence, prove he's been here.
