Synopsis

At once thoughtful and passionate, Jem Poster’s poetry explores areas of perennial human concern. Love and the limits of love, the interplay of memory and imagination, the vulnerability of the natural world – these and related matters stand at the heart of this rich and varied debut collection. Brought to Light acknowledges the trickiness of our negotiations with whatever lies beyond the immediate reach of language and logic. There are shadows here, hints of the inexpressible as well as recurrent intimations of loss and damage; but these are part of a broader pattern, an essential counterpart to the poems’ vivid evocations of life and light.
