Review from A Days Encounter
Brownstein’s poetry comes alive in a number of exciting ways. The introduction actually takes us on a journey into the head of an individual with dementia with lines of imagery that are both vivid and thought provoking.
And they take the gray water into who they are
So it continues into years and years,
another century of weeks and days
When we reached the conclusion of the first part, we found ourselves in the hands of someone who seemingly knows how the mind works, and wanders; how it can focus, and then go off to another plain; how it discovers, and then recovers:
I do not know where I am and I do not know how I got here. The woman’s voice on the phone gave me directions
Then the next page reveals:
to the wrong place—a roofing supply warehouse. I wanted to go to Jeff City Industries.
This is a unique and challenging piece of work. Turn the page and again Brownstein catches us off guard with another image that makes you think:
Do you know how clouds cover the sky until every path of blue is gone and only the discolorations of gray remains?
Between the introduction and the conclusion, are a number of poems full of breathpause, daybreak, dysfunctionality, mismatched bone alignments, breathbrake, blackouts insomnia, and advocate of a life-inadequacy. From the first poem “Noise” to the last one, “Home”, there is much to enjoy and much to ponder over. - Lennie Cox, adaysencounter.wordpress.com
