Bromige retired early from Sonoma State University in 1993, and he continued to publish and give readings. "Tiny Courts in a World Without Scales", Brick Books, is a book of fifty short poems, showing Bromige at his droll and sarcastic best. He had fun with "They Ate", a cut up from a turn-of-the-century detective novel, before producing "A Cast of Tens" (Avec Press). Each stanza has 10 lines but in each poem is distributed variously. "The Harbormaster of Hong Kong" (Sun and Moon) came next with many kinds of writing in it including a perfect sonnet. Bromige's final book from the 90's was "Vulnerable Bundles", a limited edition of thirty, from Potes and Poets Press.
