Laynie Browne

Her work explores notions of silence and the invisible, through the re-contextualization of poetic forms, such as sonnets (Daily Sonnets), tales (The Scented Fox), letters (The Desires of Letters), psalms (Lost Parkour Ps(alms)) and others.

Browne has worked as an arts educator in public K–12 schools, with a focus on poetry.

She is co-editor of I'll Drown My Book: Conceptual Writing by Women (Les Figues Press, 2012) and is currently editing an anthology of original essays on the Poet's Novel.

[6] Browne's other current project, You Envelop Me, utilizes the elegy to investigate birth and loss within the context of the mourning process.

"Attempts to illuminate once-hidden meanings are points of perforation, punctures in the fabric of writing," says Browne.
