The Agency of Wind

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Poetry. This delightful book, beautifully publsihed by Avec books, follows Browne's REBECCA LETTERS and LORE with more of her unique lightness of touch and capacious vison. 'Which way to the windmaker's door?/ If you want to know you'll have to ask the doormaker.' 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. Laynie Browne's pieces of universal udefulness -- poem/stories written for childre/sages, Sumerian lore/from the twenty-third century, profoundly formal/whimsically freeing -- are a particular, innovative delight. -- Stacy Dorris.
