Translation of the Lilies Back into Lists

"Though the poems are awash in the quotidian—buying gifts, planning travel, filling out forms, child care—they read like the textual record of a sensitive mind working through the “thoughts surrounding” the daily demands that make up a life."—Harriet Books

"Like each of her 'page mothers' (Wright, Berssenbrugge, Hejinian, Mayer, Notley, Scalapino, Vicuña, Weiner, Waldrop), Browne writes of everyday life in ways that are various, expansive, and deeply informed by critical theory. And also in ways that sustain urgent engagement with and critique of the feminized roles carved out by our capitalist, heteropatriarchal society."—Claire Marie Stancek
