About the Poems
by Laynie Brown These prose poems are from a book called Scorpyn Odes. Odes are interspersed with poems titled "Departure" which muse upon current cultural maladies from which to depart and meanings of leaving (literal and metaphorical). This work also explores the possibility of "departure" as locomotion or energy source, time travel and incantatory momentum.
