The Agency of Wind

"'Which way to the windmaker's door?/ If you want to know you'll have to ask the doormaker.' A riddling, wind-activated poem describing the transformative adventures of a girl and a crane. Page after page, deckled with light, whistle headfirst into a journey, a conversation, a host of insoluble dilemmas, 'questions swept over a chasm.' The Agency of Wind yields the imaginative pleasures of a Leonora Carrington painting with the verbal vivacity and exactitude already characteristic of a Laynie Browne."—C.D. Wright

"The gentle quality of Laynie Browne's prose is perfectly suited for this ethereal tale."—Bernadette Mayer
