Former NFL player Jason Brown is a recruiter and college football coach. Coach Brown became widely known as the no-nonsense coach on Seasons 3 and 4 of Netflix's smash hit Last Chance U. He currently resides in San Diego, CA with his best friend, Stogie.
Coach Brown is 1 of 1. A total original. Watching him on Last Chance U was the most interesting thing on TV since The Sopranos. He's the Tony Soprano of football. -- Michael Rapaport, Actor/Comedian
JB was the first QB I coached at Compton College. Jason's father came to me to make sure I would look after him and I took that task on head first and with honor. Jason not only became my first All-American QB, he went on and did everything he said he would. This book epitomizes who he is: straightforward, driven, emotional, and 100% invested in the WIN. -- Coach Cornell Ward, Former Head Coach, Compton Community College
I did not have a single college scholarship offer coming out of high school. Jason Brown saw potential in me when no one else did. He helped teach and mold me into a future NFL QB. -- Brad Sorensen, Quarterback, San Diego Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings
Jason and I have known each other for twenty years. I coached against Jason while he was a player and together on the same staff. The general public does not know how caring and committed he is to the well-being of his players. Many outside of his circle fail to ascertain this quality in him but once you get to know JB, you will appreciate Jason Brown. -- Marguet Miller, Head Football Coach, West Los Angeles College
A masterful work, catapulting the reader through the intricate history of Outermark with a sense of immersion that is rare in contemporary fiction. Full of quiet grace, breathtaking moments of violence, splendor, and all manners of beauty, this novel is an indelible achievement--and not to be missed.
--Nathan Harris, author of The Sweetness of Water
Engrossing . . . [a] moving tale of ritual and survival.
--Wall Street Journal
Outermark is a haunting and bittersweet story about the power of the places that shape us from Jason Brown, winner of the Maine Book Award, a pure and accomplished talent (New York Times).
The tiny, fictional island of Outermark sits thirty miles off the coast in the waters between Maine and Nova Scotia. When Corson Wills, one of the last people to have lived on the island, is asked to recount its history, he begins by describing it as a rock in the ocean where no one lives anymore. Corson's tale, and those of his ancestors who also lived there, ferry the reader between the 1980s, when lobster fishing is the only remaining industry, and the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, days of great sailing ships to the East Indies but also of conflicts between the earliest Native residents and newly arrived colonial settlers.
During Corson's boyhood, life on the island becomes increasingly tenuous as the lobster stocks decline and debt and hard feelings abound. Some of the islanders have started to run drugs, and many others have abandoned their homes to move to the mainland. Tensions between neighbors reach a tipping point the night of a catastrophic house fire. Residents of Outermark suffer the loss of livelihood and community that many in small towns have experienced in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As the stories in Outermark reveal, as impossible as life was on the island, life off of it never feels quite right for those who had no choice but to leave it behind.

Brown finds that every event in conscious life passes through highly determinate stages in a fraction of a second. These repeat both the stages of individual growth and of the evolution of the species: Not only does ontogeny recapitulate phylogeny, but the emergence of every moment of awareness recapitulates them both. This process begins deep in the brain stem with the mere awareness of duration, proceeds through concept-formation and image selection, and terminates with the apprehension of an object in the external world. The external object acts as a realistic constraint on consciousness. But in conditions such as brain damage, dream, meditation, as well as creativity, the preconscious stages enter into direct awareness, giving us explicit glimpses of developmental and evolutionary process and presenting a startling reversal of common ideas about the development of mind. Concept and image do not derive from perception and sensation, theycome first. And the principle of consciousness, rather than being a latecomer on the evolutionary and developmental scene, is a potentiality throughout.
This lucidly written book will not disappoint the many readers concerned with the great frontier of scientific exploration -- the nature of consciousness.
As someone challenged by the legend of Shakespeare writing King Lear during his own pandemic and trying to make the most of ours, I became an autodidactic poet adapting a classic form - English sonnets - to modern stories.
Unfortunately - and about this, let me be clear - I am not a poet. I am, in parts, a father, an engineer, son, brother, carpenter, friend, philanthropist, and mediocre endurance athlete. These definitions, and my experiences fulfilling them, serve as the foundation of my work.
My poems are rough, but as the rough sawn nature of barn wood adds to, rather than detracts from, its beauty, I hope that the folksy, down-to-earth, literal approach to the lofty sonnet will add to, rather than detract from, the art form.
The work opens with a prologue that critiques modern poetry and implies a need to return to classical form. To invert the advice of van der Rohe, function will follow form. The rhythm and meter of the sonnet require preservation, with the subject elevated by the form itself.
The first section proves this point using homespun narratives and family lore to demonstrate the utility of the sonnet. It highlights universal topics of family, community and fellowship through quintessential midwest subject matter - nature, hard work, and play time.
In the second section, I dare myself to prove the adaptability of the sonnet, taking on topics as far-flung as Sysephus, antidisestablishmentarianism, and professional sports contracts. The absurdity is the point - the sonnet is a vehicle for any story needing to be told (and maybe a few that don't).
In the third section, I get unapologetically salty using the sonnet as a microscope under which to examine society's peccadilloes, including a few self-recriminations.
The work closes with an appeal to the audience to remember me fondly and well - but not too seriously.
