Book Hero thinking about your next read

The poems in Collusion, Brook Emerys fourth collection, swing between affirmation and uncertainty as they consider the beauty and losses of the natural and the human worlds. Australian author.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Brook Emery's mode is enquiry, with a gentle insistence that enquiry matters. Fluent, occasionally epigrammatic, and showing a quiet humour, this is generous, open-minded poetry. As in previous collections, Emery's interest is in the intersections of the material, the spiritual and the rational.

The poems are loosely addressed as letters to some implied correspondent, who might be real, the self, or the unconscious. While Collusion is metaphysical in intent, the poems maintain a habit of sharp and tactile observation—the abstract becomes sensuous, and the intellectual makes friends with the physical. Swinging between affirmation and uncertainty, they weigh up the beauty and losses of the natural and human worlds.
