\"\"<\/a>WINNER OF THE THREE MILE HARBOR POETRY PRIZE: PRAISE FOR M. L. BROWN’S CALL IT MIST<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In its polyvalent beauty and sonic delight, Call It Mist\u00a0<\/em>defines for us, via wry and sly sharpness of images and wit, elusive emotions as they settle into and around us. Making a meeting-place for understanding, M. L. Brown offers us poetry that \u201cconjures the way for everything,\u201d that is unafraid to \u201cride the rust of the road\u201d or \u201cset your teeth to the edge of the cup.\u201d These radiant poems invite the reader to \u201ctrace the path of your swaying against the heavens.\u201d In Call It Mist<\/em> the dailiness of the pastoral and the lure of the ekphrastic merge, creating a layered and profound conversation with the constant act of living and the language we use to \u00a0navigate it.\u00ad<\/em>\u2014KHADIJAH QUEEN, author of I’m So Fine: A List of Famous Men & What I Had On<\/em><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In Call It Mist, <\/em>M. L. Brown practices a kind of lyric distillation, purifying and condensing meaning into a sumptuous sparseness, an almost crystalline austerity. It\u2019s matter that gives a word weight, and in her brilliant lines each word is heavy with import, with resonance. She traces a subtle narrative of coming of age, coupling, winter, hunger and distance in these passionate and beveled poems. \u2014 MARSHA de la O, author of Every Ravening Thing<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

M. L. BROWN<\/span> is also the author of Drought<\/em>, winner of the Claudia Emerson Chapbook award. Her work has appeared in Valparaiso Poetry Review<\/em>, Prairie Schooner<\/em>, Blackbird<\/em>, and Tinderbox,<\/em> among other journals and anthologies.
