Poetry. National Poetry Series winner selected by Alice Notley. Laynie Browne's sixth collection emerges from half-remembered fairy tales and reconstructed dreams. In these fragmented poetic spells, characters disappear and re-emerge, their charms reconfigured, their stories unraveling, their happy endings elusive. Laynie Browne was born in 1966, and grew up in LosAngeles. She has taught creative writing at University of Washington Bothell, and Mills College.
