"While memory at times traces darker inroads among the glittering, high-wire acts and comic cadenzas, the imaginative movement of the collection is outwards towards celebration. Jess-Cooke is a poet who revels in the magical pleasure of language and readers will enjoy sharing it with her." -- Carol Rumens, poet, Blind Spots, "While memory at times traces darker inroads among the glittering, high-wire acts and comic cadenzas, the imaginative movement of the collection is outwards towards celebration. Jess-Cooke is a poet who revels in the magical pleasure of language and readers will enjoy sharing it with her." —Carol Rumens, poet, Blind Spots, "Inroads feels refreshingly transatlantic--this is a poet unafraid of crossing boundaries, capable of being as simultaneously playful and serious as good literature always is." --Luke Kennard, poet, The Migraine Hotel, "While memory at times traces darker inroads among the glittering, high-wire acts and comic cadenzas, the imaginative movement of the collection is outwards towards celebration. Jess-Cooke is a poet who revels in the magical pleasure of language and readers will enjoy sharing it with her." — Carol Rumens, poet, Blind Spots, "Inroads feels refreshingly transatlantic--this is a poet unafraid of crossing boundaries, capable of being as simultaneously playful and serious as good literature always is." --Luke Kennard, poet, The Migraine Hotel, The opening piece, Accent where stowaway inflections and locally-produced slang/have passports of their own is a praise poem for the versatility and joy of language, The way sound chases itself in tunnels and halls, the way senses fold memory.... This verbal fluency and dexterity are employed to offer us poems that are multi-faceted and often paradoxical. Aeneas Finds Dido on YouTube is part satire, part tender re-enactment of the myth, featuring the most up-to-date media platforms. After this playful start, a difficult childhood is evoked through metaphor in poems like Music Lesson,One Thousand PainfulPieces and Bitten, all the more heartbreaking for being indirect. This pain contrasts with the redemption that mature love brings, that watches memories burn in poems like Pure and Lip Service and First Time Buyer that are marvellously aslant poems of passionate attachment. Belmopan, Belize shifts into realism, giving us a chillingly accurate account of a car accident. In other travel poems like Jet Lag and Tourists the restlessness and vertigo of travel mirror an existential state. The two set in Japan, Reading Mt. Fujis Diaries and Waterfall at Lake Chuzenji, Japan, are curious and haunting narratives, suggestive of multiple meanings. Other high points are Newborn with the apt description of a babe in arms being a zoo of verbs/mewling, snuffling, pecking.... This sweet realism again gives way to metaphor, in the strangely evocative Dorothys Homecoming in a brilliant take on the classic film Wizard of Oz, the power of maternal love has turned into a twister all encompassing and terrified by her loss. Any exhausted new mother will also recognise the surreal musings in the saga Asda, Ten Days Post-Partum. Readers will enjoy this striking and versatile new voice., "While memory at times traces darker inroads among the glittering, high-wire acts and comic cadenzas, the imaginative movement of the collection is outwards towards celebration.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
