Praise for Double Agent:
A poet alert to every least quiver in the inner and outer worlds; the grace, gusto, humor, and intimacy of these richly vivid and unusually quotable poems are the most generous of gifts. Double Agent is an altogether enthralling debut. –Gary Lutz, Stories in the Worst Way
Michelle Chan Brown’s collection takes us on journeys across continents by way of hard fact combined with the subtlest of strangeness, the eeriest musicality, and the most startling of shifts and observations. Hers is an entirely new vision and voice. This collection is a real achievement, but, most of all, it is haunting. –Laura Kasischke, Space, in Chains
