Description

Lachlan Mackinnon's fourth collection is a nuanced exploration of contingency and memory. It begins with a gathering of lyrics and descriptive poems that consider rites of passage, places, and historical figures in introspective terms. The Book of Emma is a long poem of fifty-four sections, written mostly in prose, which addresses a lost friend and contemporary in a unique blend of fact and archaic convention. This preoccupation with personal and historical narratives opens onto a rich exploration of the human experience. Through its meditations on memory and legacy, this collection invites readers to reflect on the complexities of human connection and the power of language to shape our understanding of ourselves and others.
