Publisher Marketing: In this volume Michael Dennis Browne has gathered together short poems from every phase of his long career into chapters focusing on childhood nature private anxieties and irrationalities extended family and other themes variously spacious and personal. Some have the ring of nursery rhymes others the melancholy lilt of an elegy the blunt force of an occasional poem by Yeats or the enigmatic resonance of a passage from scripture. There are times when a few phrases can conjure an indelible moment of experience and perhaps an entire universe though the reader must fill in the blanks. We meet up with such moments repeatedly in the pages of this compact and powerful collection
