Description
Your Scratch Entourage by Kris Hemensley is a poetic journey that transcends geographical boundaries. Hemensley reads his poetry in a warm accent of old Hampshire and more recent Dorset overlaid with Melbourne, unconsciously abstracting his past. This book is not merely a harvest of words but a mapping of fields and paths, distilled from impressions through memory and reference to lexical imagery.
Hemensley dares to have a conversation with language, and through this dialogue, language reveals the nature of what it is to be human. As Lucas Weschke aptly describes, 'This unique approach to poetry offers readers a deeply enriching experience.'
