Book Description

Poetry. "As if each hypothesis were a parasol which slightly changed the light, Laynie Browne's poems contain privileged messages from the spirit world that must be shielded from the direct rays of reality because such information might so easily disintegrate, remaining unrecognizable under the harsh glare and preoccupied manner of contemporary scrutiny.
