Poetry. POLYVERSE is just that: a verse of many forms and possibilities. Taking its cue from a wide range of modern and postmodern poetics, Brown's work enacts an exciting and suggestive poetry of possibility. Winner of the 1996 New American Poetry Competition, selected by Charles Bernstein.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Goodness.,
By Emily Burnham (Searsport, ME United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Polyverse (New American Poetry) (Paperback)
Saw Lee Ann Brown read at the University of Maine in February 2001; was utterly captivated. Purchased "Polyverse" and commenced much reading and re-reading. Joyfully chaotic, this is juicy, sexy, fresh poetry that delights in the jamming together of sounds and words and images in an unnatural but deliciously entertaining way. It doesn't have to make any sense. It doesn't always. Though sometimes it does.

By A Customer
This review is from: Polyverse (New American Poetry) (Paperback)
This book aims to astonish with its reach but instead is a mish-mash of material that is ultimately mediocre. The author's dabblings in various modes of writing falter so often that the book becomes an ongoing example of the potential pitfalls to be avoided when 'appropriating' a style (the possible self indulgence of New York School writing, the occasionally forced obscurity of langpo, etc.). These poems are not horrible and would make a decent portfolio for a creative writing undergrad or maybe even a grad student who was performing at the bottom of the class, but one can only wonder how this manuscript got published by a major poetry press.
