description: Dan Brown's poems are splendid demonstrations of the power to be obtained by drawing the reins really tight. They've a kind of detachment and crisp dryness extremely rare nowadays, when most poets, it seems, simply step before their mirrors and gush away. Yet in keeping faith with such strict forms, Brown hasn't squeezed out the breath and feeling; his poems are quite beautiful things. ----------- Scientific American
