Book Description:
|
South Jersey farmland, flooded and made an island. Scrap Iron quickly and fluidly moves from this isolated plot of land - the poet's childhood home - to the memories associated with that place, its people, and of youth. Throughout the volume, Brewin's attention to sound and cadence offers the reader a burning exploration with beautiful imagery, while also providing a sharp contrast to the sometimes harsh and dark subject matter.
