Description: Polyverse is just that: a verse of many forms and possibilities. Taking its cue from a wide range of modern and postmodern poetics - Gertrude Stein's multiple formal innovations, Emily Dickinson's condensations, the improvisation of Whitman and the Beat poets, the New York School's intertwining poles of "the everyday," and the wild peripatetic leaps and innovation of "Language" writing - Brown's work enacts an exciting and suggestive poetry of possibility.
