Dan Brown's poems play a New Yorker's voice, as Robert Frost's played a New Englander's, across the back-beat of meter and rhyme.
"Matter is subtle, unpretentious, musical, and blessedly intelligent. Brown's unique voice has a quirkiness all too rare in poetry today."
Phillip Lopate
"Dan Brown's poems are a splendid demonstration of the power to be obtained by drawing the reins really tight. They've a kind of detachment and crisp dryness extremely rare nowadays, when most poets, it seems, simply step nakedly before their mirrors and gush away. Yet in keeping faith with such strict forms, Brown has by no means squeezed out the breath and feeling. The results are moving and quite beautiful."
X. J. Kennedy
"The supremely intelligent lyrics in Matter pulse with precision and wit. A rare and bracing pleasure to read."
Rachel Hadas
