The Star in the Branches, James Peake's second collection, is an
intense and heartfelt examination of memory, how it pains and
consoles, deepens and shrinks, is both equal to, and less than, the
objects and people who come to reside there. At either end of the
book are the disappearances of loved ones: a parent succumbing to
dementia, and a school friend lost to more voluntary forms of
forgetting. Elsewhere are poems of erotic love, big city
loneliness, and the boon and burden of family, poems of praise in
which the spiritual and the tangible are not remote but intimate.
From the ancient quarries of Naxos to the electronica of Aphex
Twin, these highly distinctive poems celebrate the unique wherever
they find it.
