Review
A stunner & a delight, a heady dose of pure oxygen. --Ron Silliman
Coalescing here is OHaras *you go on your nerve,* Williams typewriter attached to the desk, swung up at a moments lull or notice, Apollinaire and Lucky Pierre Albert-Birots insistence on immediacy and coterie, Dadas disclosing enclosures of silliness and goof. And, with that breath and the hand-sized page, Olsons bodily poetics, Duncans open field. All that ladled over the oldest and commonest of forms of the European tradition. Formidable! --Noted poet
Quite possibly the purest poetry I have read in ages, by which I mean that it really is poetry, happening on the page, as close to unaware of itself as I can imagine a poet ever approaching. --Charles Alexander
Product Description
In DAILY SONNETS Laynie Browne charts new territory as she subtly investigates the daily influxes of the poetic moment. From longing for the family in the very midst of the family, to the play of the mind which mimics and shepherds the visible games of children, Browne offers here the mimesis of the possible, a moving reflection of action and intimacy, a letting go and a grasping of the poetic and the political, all in the firm hold of song.
