BRIAN-PACO

I am a poet named Brian-Paco.

My pronouns are Brian and Paco or B-P. I appreciate when people say my name. As a resident of Marshall for most of my life, I am a known local presence that is either reading, writing, taking poetry requests, or sharing creativity with friends and fellow artists.

As an “in-the-world” poet, Brian-Paco muses in nearby bars and open mic spaces.

B-P goes out believing existence is better with art in experience, so people should create and release things, then appreciate relatable pieces. Coordinating with local creators to make, print, and cut self-published zines, Brian-Paco enjoys distributing them from a poetry bag.

Bringing poems into the daily lives of those lucky folks that reach into the satchel, Paco feels words, shut away and shelved, die too soon. Often, Brian reads aloud in public to individuals but also upon stages from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to a few regional Minnesota cities such as Marshall, New London and Granite Falls.
