... Unrestrained, imaginative writing.
Brown's magic is the vibrating universe,
his sympathy is his ability to receive these
vibrations. Sympathetic Magic captures
the movement of life in its intervals -
his poems resemble stopped action photographs from a film.
THE TORONTO STAR
... The poetry is fine ... rewarding reading ...
Almost every poem in Sympathetic Magic boasts
an admirable image or two. Brown can write,
without a doubt.
POETRY CANADA POESIE
... Wry humour.
The poet revels in image and can use it well.
Paul Cameron Brown is capable of interesting,
even arresting work.
