Poetic Moments

Poet L.M. Browning invites us to once again find an appreciation for our beautiful community by “becoming aware of the dearness in what might otherwise be regarded as mundane,” to quote her from her newest book of poetry Fleeting Moments of Fierce Clarity. This Wakefield native captures our culture in her elegantly written poetry depicting her experiences in the Northeast, the shore of Connecticut to Boston, Arcadia Park and Walden Pond. Fleeting Moments of Fierce Clarity represents a view of the world, and our very own selves when the “confusion clears.” Browning, who has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, found this through her written appreciation of the surroundings we experience each day, and is sharing it with us in her new book. Her poetry is such that it allows the reader to reflect on their inward understanding of humanity and gives a greater perspective of our daily lives.
