Martin came of age in the last decade of the nineteenth century. He lived past the mid-mark of the twentieth, an unmarried man who left no children to remember him and only a sketchy documentary trail as evidence that he''d ever lived at all. Here Martin is found in letters he received: farmer, friend, brother, would-be sweetheart, traveler, would-be Christian, sometime book reader and sometime tennis player, a letter writer himself, from whom not a single letter survives. Here the young women who wrote to him are also found-Anna J., Anna, Mag, and the irrepressible "Sister." Any one of them could have turned his life-and hers-in a different direction from the direction their lives did take. Here are the places where they lived: farms way out in the country; villages providing services and goods to those farms; small towns growing around railway depots; a side-look at a state capital where a race riot rages; colleges built in towns that had not even an elementary school before the colleges opened; county fairs and singing conventions; one-room country schools and one-room lofty sanctuaries where God was worshipped and souls were nourished. Martin''s was a smaller world than ours, and more slowly paced, but it is possible to capture some of its bounds and some of its rhythms. That is what the writer attempts here.

Think somewhere between a sneeze and a seed.The form, emotion, and pace feel like a sneeze: impulsive, frenetic, comforting, and starts and stops on dimes. The seed is the content solely derived from twenty-six first-person accounts of Virginia Men's Basketball from 2009, when head coach Tony Bennett and his staff arrived in Charlottesville, until 2019, when the program won its first National Championship, and after it became the first #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed in the NCAA Tournament the year prior.Back in his coaching days, Dick Bennett, Tony's father, created a value system known as the Five Pillars (Humility, Passion, Unity, Servanthood, and Thankfulness). Tony continued the tradition at Virginia and gradually transformed the culture of the cellar-dwelling program he inherited into an elite, sustainable family that develops men of character, patience, potential, and tenacity to unlock that potential in basketball and beyond.I spent a year-plus gathering video interviews averaging 45 minutes, and the initial transcriptions spanned over 225,000 words. I took myself out, culled for quality, humor, adversity, and wisdom, and edited the remnants for clarity while keeping them raw enough to mimic natural conversation. From there, I broke them into paragraphs and lines arranged in sections, themes, and years, and proceeded to stitch them together to form a collective memoir organized into an oral history of a decade.The resulting 90,000 words let the players, coaches, staff members, and student managers tell their own tale. After the National Championship Game in 2019, journalists from all over the country hammered the two-year turnaround from the biggest upset in college basketball history in 2018, but that comeback story doesn't happen without the previous eight seasons' teams building upon one another and providing the platform for the National Championship to occur.So, I made this: intangible.

Hearts Bigger than Brazil is a personal, often autobiographical account of one man's effort to put experiences into words that reveal vividly many aspects of a rather long life, from the challenges of making poems to the variety and beauty of nature, memories of childhood, influences of family (including some very different marriages), valued friendships, the magic and mystery of real and enduring love, coming out and identifying as gay, a rewarding career in teaching, the aspirations of all kinds of artists, pleasures and lessons from travel, the love and pursuit of wisdom, understanding dreams, the sacred, and even ways to approach the reality of death. This book will offer you more questions than answers and more wonderment than expertise, and some poems will reveal their meanings more quickly than others, but reading them thoughtfully will give you a good look at a world that is in many ways also your own. In short, your eyes will be opened here to the true enormity of the human heart. Prepare to think, relate - and laugh a bit.

Dear Reader, If you can clearly explain what a poet is, please feel free to enlighten me. I contend that no one knows what such a strange beast really is. I know what it means to write something that looks like a poem. I am, however, incapable of referring to myself as a poet in the same manner, as I do not claim to know any truth. I can only claim to be looking for truth. The contents of this book are attempts at reaching some sort of more intense form of a language that is not even mine. I imagine that most people who read these pages will wonder what I am talking about. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I cannot help anyone in their quest for meaning. No key, no code, no cypher, no method will help anyone ascertain meaning. But if one sentence gives you pause, if you find one word even remotely intriguing for what it sounds like or says, maybe, then my task here is done. I can go no further.
