Occurrences

Occurrences is a book of quiet reckonings. Set across land, labour, memory, and the inner life, these poems do not search for meaning so much as stand still long enough for it to arrive. From the sound of cicadas breaking a summer silence to the measured attention of hands at work, from the dislocation of modern life to the slow return to listening, each piece traces what happens when control loosens and something truer takes its place.
Written in a spare, grounded voice, Occurrences moves through the ordinary-machines, dust, bodies, roads and finds within it a deeper order that cannot be forced, only recognised. These are not poems of declaration, but of attention. Not answers, but moments where the world and the self meet without certaint
