brook emery (22 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. 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 keep up 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.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Sea Scale comprises thirty new poems and a generous selection from Brook Emery's previous five volumes. From and dug my fingers in the sand, his first book, to Have Been and Are, his most recent, reviewers have noted the fluency and tactility of his writing and the range of his thinking and allusions. His poetry is speculative, always wondering, occasionally playful, always trying to make sense of the complexities of the material, spiritual and rational worlds. The inter-weavings of mind and brain, language and culture, nature and society, time and memory are all swept up in this enquiry. His particular skill is to render abstract and intellectual issues in sensuous and physical imagery. Ever-present is the sea which, while sometimes performing metaphoric or symbolic functions, is always its material self: 'the glittering humpbacked sea, the thousand flickering things the mind lights on and tries to hold.''His poems have a polished elegance that combines love of nature and wonder at the artistic impulse that keeps us alive to the potential to behave in a civilised manner towards each other. He is a first-class craftsman whose rhythms, like the flow of his language, seems effortless.' Judges' comments, Kenneth Slessor Poetry Prize'Brook Emery's new collection, Have Been and Are, continues in the vein of what might be called the philosophical-demotic established in recent volumes such as Uncommon Light and Collusion. I don't think anyone in the cohort of contemporary Australian poetry does this quite as well as he does.'
