Description
The Brink is the debut collection from Jacob Polley, a poet whose remarkable transforming imagination is showcased in this first publication. His unique voice and perspective are already gaining recognition as one of the sharpest and most unusual new voices to have appeared on the scene.
Polley's poetry explores the natural world with a keen eye for detail, revealing the intricate connections between objects and experiences. In works such as 'the sun, all flesh and no bones / but for the floating knuckle / of honeycomb', he finds beauty in the everyday and the struggle that lies beneath.
This collection offers readers their first opportunity to experience Polley's remarkable poetry, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the boundaries between reality and metaphor are blurred.
