POETRY OF REBELLION A stage of development that many young writers go through is rebellion. They become outraged by what they see going on in their society. They find it impossible to silently accept the hatred, division, dishonesty, and hypocrisy around them. They feel an urge to change everything they see in society, to escape it, to find other people who want to change it, and to help other people escape. Because they're writers they express these urges in writing.Prevention is a collection of L. Brown's poetry written at this time of his life. It poetically critiques everything he saw going on around him that prevented people from communicating with each other and from reaching their full potential. The urge to change things and to get away from prevention are expressed simply and, at times, unforgettably.Other books by L. Brown include Loopholes, School Notes, The Wall, The Minotaur, and the Sifting.
