Before I began creating art as Simon Occulis, I published under my birth name, Brandon Pitts. Because I get asked about these books, I've decided to compile a comprehensive list with a little personal commentary.                                                                                  Mosaic Press — October, 2017                                                                                       ISBN: 978-1-77161-264-7 Available here! Poems of mortality, faith and the sociopolitical landscape of America during Trump’s divisive campaign. With this collection, Brandon Pitts beautifully captures the maelstrom of American society in the throes of self-destruction. “Pitts displays a Frostian command of the American vernacular.” — Benjamin Schmitt,  At The Inkwell   “Brandon Pitts is an ingenious poet who interrogates the oracles and transfigures their obscure answers into dissonant and outraged verse."  — James Dewar, Poetry Publisher,  Piquant Press  and poet,

Make your enemies your friends. Brandon Pitts the actor, or Brandon Pitts the doctor who self publishes on amazon, or the athlete Brandon Pitts, all compete for your attention with Brandon Pitts, the poet: There is only one Occulis !   3) Occulis has no limits. Self identification is the enemy of creativity and endeavors of excellence. The best art is a gift, and the artist the vessel. Brandon Pitts is an ego with a past, a mother, a father.  Occulis , the non-entity, is a more perfect vessel.  4)   David Jones was a fai
