The online literary magazine www.brdman.com presents Booger Platoon, Dr. Brdman's first collection of poems in which he chronicles the progression from boy to man, man to Marine, and Marine to veteran. Dr. Brdman's service, sexuality, masculinity, and Catholic faith resonate throughout the voices of his diverse speakers whom pontificate Matthew Joseph's constant state of cognitive dissidence through juxtaposing Catholicism with secularism, sexual promiscuity with love, machismo with fear, and life with death.
