Laynie Browne Bücher

Exploring the concept of the 'poet's novel,' this talk by Laynie Browne delves into the intersections of poetry and prose, questioning why poets are drawn to narrative forms. It characterizes this hybrid genre and examines works by notable authors like Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, and Lydia Davis. Accompanied by drawings from Noah Saterstrom, Browne's insights contribute to the forthcoming collection of essays, "A Forest on Many Stems: Essays on the Poet's Novel," further enriching the discussion on this unique literary form.

Exploring themes of loss and mourning, this collection of rondels pays tribute to poet Lyn Hejinian, drawing inspiration from her work, *The Unfollowing*. The poems reflect on the complex, non-linear experience of grief, echoing the idea of time as a labyrinth where past and present intertwine. Each poem's final line resonates with Hejinian's language, creating a dialogue between the two works. The author contemplates what follows loss, capturing the essence of elegy through a unique poetic structure.

From poet, novelist, and teacher Laynie Brown comes Translation of the Lilies Back into Lists, an homage text to the poet C. D. Wright.
