At an unknown train station, a fair goddess waits for her next ride to Paradise. Across the platform, two brothers farewell each other for what feels like the last time. The dusk sky outside is blanched in mocked orange from the blister of a meteor as it crumbles into orbit. Out there, the world is changing rapidly, yet the goddess is more interested examining the ordinary passengers going about their lives. Where are they going? What are they travelling to? Who will be there to meet them at the end line?
In his third full collection, Jamie Trower uses his powerful, original voice to examine the past, present, and future of this ever-changing world. Each poem traverses his own lived experience with compassion whilst urgently holding a mirror up to a society on high alert. Funny, gut-wrenching, thought-provoking, and alarming, Trower’s poems guide us along the rusted track we travel to get ourselves back to Paradise.
