Poetry. "These poems in prose are instructions for (not interpretations of) dreams and, as such of intrinsic value. They take fully into account 'what is lost, ' 'what cannot be told, ' 'the missing object, ' the 'no one to blame.' They ring true."--Keith Waldrop

"With a knowledge of what has come before, Laynie Brown charts the processes of natural phenomenon by means of a lyric tuned to the harmony of the spheres. POLLEN MEMORY marks the journey of a poet who listens to important things that most of us take for granted--it is both hypnotic and wise."--Lisa Jarnot
