Hobson's Choice

Hobson was an Englishman who leased horses to travelers with clients being required to take the horse nearest the door, regardless of the horse's condition. Hobson's "choice" is a term which came into the dictionary to define a condition of no choice. For years, Nathan Brown did not consider himself a poet because he thought he had no cause to champion. Born into a middle-class, mid-western family, he suffered no great injustice and assumed he had no right to the title of poet. But Brown is a poet, a truth he accepted as he struggled with being a thinker, a searcher for meaning, connections, and understanding. Writing about struggles with being a product of healthy relationships, stable upbringing, and good schools, as well as being a white, male, divorced father in today's era of political correctness were his "choices" when he rented from his Hobson's stable. In Hobson's Choice, readers find a man speaking from the heart and creativity on society, religion, academia, fatherhood, and the child.Brown, Nathan is the author of 'Hobson's Choice', published 2002 under ISBN 9780966968224 and ISBN 0966968220.
