Letters Inscribed in Snow

Laynie Browne

"Laynie Browne's LETTERS INSCRIBED IN SNOW navigates the complexity of personhood and questions what constitutes a material and immaterial being. In a series of ever-fascinating epistles, notes, and scenes, Browne deftly interrogates what informs a fictional or real life, and whether the real and the imagined are a distinction without a difference. Enter this text and you'll enter the lush thoughtscape of the poet as philosopher, unafraid to plumb the depths and probe the heights."--Airea Dee Matthews, author of Simulacra


Poetry. Hybrid.
