Mascara-Viscera Part 9

And I thought of things, things that come in small clutches, tiny memories, thoughts evoking the approach of time or footsteps about to open graves.

More things than the troubled single ent.i.ties we attach to them; things marbled with the elasticity of rain, rumours of war, pitch black leaves in the bottom of a pond where the whelp of a dog tries to outrun night.

COMMENTS

...Unrestrained, imaginative writing.

Brown's magic is the vibrating universe, his sympathy is his ability to receive these vibrations.

Sympathetic Magic captures the movement of life in its intervals-- his poems resemble stopped action photographs from a film.

THE TORONTO STAR

...The poetry is fine... rewarding reading...

Almost every poem in Sympathetic Magic boasts an admirable image or two.

Brown can write, without a doubt.
