Summary:

Here, Laynie Browne shines as scientific mystic, as abstract storyteller.E She unfolds the natural world into new spaces and tales.E Language under the electron microscope: The starfish is neither star, nor fish.EE This is a completely revolutionary 'nature poetry' that is rapturously structural (like nature) and intuitively conceptual (like poetry).E Mermaid's Purseshowers its complex gifts on the included reader, never the same way twice. Lee Ann Brown
