Description

The Jupiter Collisions by Lachlan Mackinnon is a collection of poems that explores the nature of uncertainty and flux. The book opens with a precise account of a distant event in cosmology, which serves as a starting point for a series of investigations into the human experience. Through a range of styles and subjects, from American scenes to philosophical concerns, Mackinnon's poetry reveals a tone that is both cool and numinous. Two sequences of linked poems stand out, bringing together personal matter with philosophical ideas in a unique and thought-provoking way. With its understated yet powerful phrasing, The Jupiter Collisions offers a nuanced exploration of the world around us, inviting readers to consider their place within it.
