4.9/5 (33834 ratings)

Description:With On the Occasion of the Last Old Camp Meeting in Llano County, poet J. Scott Brownlee seeks to document the people and landscape of Llano, Texas in order to bring dignity and narrative color to a region in America that is typically overlooked. These poems assemble the voices of wildflowers and pasture fires, evangelicals and unbelievers, poets and blue-collar folks for whom the life of the mind remains an afterthought. Bridging imagined and actual worlds by writing in the space between the rural and the urban, Brownlee fashions a language that is simultaneously Biblical in its singing and backwoods in its immediacy and candor.https://squareup.com/store/tree-light...“An exquisite, pressing intelligence hums through Brownlee’s poems… . He gives us Llano, Texas—cradle of his childhood—with all its glories and brokenness, as well as the poet born and jettisoned forth from that strange and terribly American place. This is a loving and mournful meditation, at once ode and elegy, and the everyday, in-between realities miraculously lived through. Brownlee describes the gamut unflinchingly, meticulously—from wildflowers to Walmart in a single bound—and makes a marvelous art of it. With the precision and maturity of voice realized here, it’s hard to believe this poet’s as young as he is. Lucky for us, this only means we’ll be blessed with his talent for many years to come.”—Michelle Bitting, author of NOTES TO THE BELOVEDThere is a kind of uncanniness which binds the poems in On the Occasion of the Last Old Camp Meeting in Llano County together. This uncanniness is so loud that the world suddenly ceases, and the only things moving are Brownlee’s lines. They often feel disconcerting at first because they seek to challenge conventional knowledge, insisting that “the world so loved the world it gave itself to itself." Igniting a fusillade of violence and beauty, Brownlee's poems provide an indispensable understanding of what makes us vulnerable, and damned, and distinctly human.—D.M.
