Description
Gareth Farmer's poetry collection Kerf explores the intersection of woodworking and life through themes of craft, labour, and social disconnection. The poems in Kerf examine the author's experiences with autism and neurodivergence, as well as those of others, revealing the complexities of isolation, violence, and obsession. Through the lens of woodworking, Farmer delves into the world of 'kerf' - sawdust, particles, and fragments that are left behind by cutting implements. These remnants serve as a metaphor for social and cultural detritus, highlighting the ways in which our lives are shaped by the things we leave behind. With precision and nuance, Farmer crafts a collection that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences of identity, connection, and the human condition.
