Chax Press blog: "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 [full review]

"Coalescing here is O’Hara’s 'you go on your nerve,' Williams’s typewriter attached to the desk, swung up at a moment’s lull or notice, Apollinaire and 'Lucky' Pierre Albert-Birot’s insistence on immediacy and coterie, Dada’s disclosing enclosures of silliness and goof. And, with that 'breath' and the hand-sized page, Olson’s bodily poetics, Duncan’s open field. All that ladled over the oldest and commonest of forms of the European tradition. Formidable!"--John Latta

"Laynie Browne's Daily Sonnets come together as a series of bite-sized collages radiating with a love of language. An heiress to the tradition of American experimental writing pioneered by Alice Notley, Bernadette Mayer, and Joanne Kyger, Browne ushers the sonnet into a new century with a clarity and playfulness that makes for great fun and a touching view into the particulars of household and motherhood." —Lisa Jarnot

"In Laynie Browne's 'collaborative time experiments' titled Daily Sonnets, cooperation, abundance, play, well turned through lines, epistemic variety games, civility, rambunctious word derives, and science vocabularies are all aspects of a greater world occupied by the 'unruly cohabitants of this alphabetic landscape.' These sonnets are a particularly joyful manifestation of multi-authored writing." —Carla Harryman

"'Are we talking or are you reading?' Laynie Browne's 14-liners contain and concentrate, perplex and glow, locate and flower—a lived, serious play. Here: invention, translation, collaboration. Hear: permission, consultation, constellation. 'Certain books are not taken to bed,' but this one should be, will be." —Rod Smith

"Can you write a poetry that rises up directly from the heart of life's distracting, contradictory, fragmentary, swirls? Laynie Browne has figured it out the hard way. The luminous poems in Daily Sonnets are full of love, little boys, laughter, and linguistic and contemplative delight. These are poems to be lived—digested and wondered over—not merely read." —Norman Fischer, author of "I Was Blown Back"

Praise for Agency of Wind:

"A riddling, wind-activated poem describing the transformative adventures of a girl and a crane. Page after page, deckled with light, whistle headfirst into a journey, a conversation, a host of insoluble dilemmas, 'questions swept over a chasm.' The Agency of Wind yields the imagnative pleasures of a Leonora Carrington painting with the verbal vivacity and exactitude already characteristic of a Laynie Browne." —C. D. Wright
