He is the author of The Carver Chronotope: Inside the Life-World of Raymond Carver's Fiction (Studies in Major Literary Authors, Volume 23. New York and London: Routledge, 2004); his poems, stories and articles have been published widely in journals across North America.
Reviews
"This is the long poem as filibuster, obstructing Roberts Rules of Order and what Lainsbury regards as the 'linearity of conventional poetic logic' in their task of creating banal legislation of both the acknowledged and unacknowledged kinds... Lainsbury is inspired by good models of the long poem deriving from Williams and Pound through Olson and Ginsberg." -- John Harris

"This is poetry that dances on the page, and, as in Pound's work, Lainsbury stands in the center of a swirling vortex grasping one perception after another to arrange on the canvas/page." -- The Buried Letter
