Poetry. "As if each hypothesis were a parasol which slightly changed the light, Laynie Browne's poems contain privileged messages from the spirit world that must be shielded from the direct rays of reality because such information might so easily disintegrate, remaining unrecognizable under the harsh glare and preoccupied manner of contemporary scrutiny. In their hushed, yet deliberate path, these works constitute a labyrinth, a gentle, ritual encircling of the tidal voice of alchemy; whose secrets are not offered to be revealed but to be reveled in,and then departed from, so that their unknowable nature may remain untouched, permitting us to leave transformed--and exhilarated"--Nick Piombino.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Poetry in the Purse,
This review is from: Mermaid's Purse (Paperback)
Browne's book is beautiful, inside and out. Her prose poems are a pleasure to read. Her work is distinctly feminine, mysterious and specific.
