| Summary: | A ruminative collection of poetry that is mystified by life in our built and natural world. Cameo Blue is a spiritual topography, recording the traces of people in their environments, natural and otherwise and the portents, memories and signs they use to navigate their path or understand the precipices they face. Lush with color, weather and imagery, some poems are driven by breathless conjecture or propelled by the acute observation that often comes with shock, when time stands still and a camera flash reveals the gap between external and internal, hope and fear, past and future. Other poems cross physical and emotional space more quietly, with a narrative voice like the intimate whisper of a secret podcast. The collection is its own immersive environment for the reader to fall into, with poems that take on a talismanic quality, laden with haunted characters, resonant objects and occult signs. |
