Guess the Experience
'a veteran poet who has mastered her craft.' Australian Book Review
'If you want and who doesn't? a poet who effects a transfiguration of the commonplace, it is Pam Brown.' Justin Clemens
Guess the Experience. Where does it happen? Who can remember? Does it matter?
This choppy mix of a book divulges Pam Brown's bemused attitude to poetry's insignificance and dubious usefulness, salted with an odd kind of sceptical optimism.
Some of these poems reveal narrative threads drawn from both real and invented encounters, locations, and situations. Some accumulate from conversations, books, advertisements, screens, propaganda, in other words, art, life, and culture to develop into the interstitial forms of a poem.
Sometimes sombre, sometimes banal, sometimes dissonant, often
insomniac, Guess the Experience invites you to get high on language.
