From \u003cem\u003eand dug my fingers in the sand\u003c\/em\u003e, his first book, to \u003cem\u003eHave Been and Are\u003c\/em\u003e, his most recent, reviewers have noted the fluency and tacility 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.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brook Emery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922571091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922571090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puncher \u0026amp; Wattmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.66d","brand":"Brook Emery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981398147327,"sku":"9781922571090","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7bcc7f3-e4d2-475a-b37f-39b038c48c13.jpg?v=1683255360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sea-scale-brook-emery-9781922571090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
