"Brennan DeFrisco is one of my favorite up-and-coming performance poets. A Heart With No Scars is a fantastic look into the fire he brings to the stage. His poem, Empty Glass, feels like good whiskey after the last bad day of a terrible week." - Toaster "The first line in this collection, 'Descend at your own risk,' should stand as a warning. Prepare to fall in love, into mourning, mourn with the poet, a city transforming and displacing, mourn the distance between friends and lovers, imagine a future lover's apocalyptic kiss. Brennan DeFrisco is a romantic and a realist all at once. Step with caution and don't say you haven't been warned." - Cassandra Dallett
