Adverse Camber by Simon Rennie
‘In Adverse Camber Simon Rennie gives us fragments of wisdom and kindness, delivered with graceful phrase-making and an undertow of humour. From the outset he celebrates the imagination with precision – looking into deep space he finds ‘world-mocking worlds’ which perfectly renders a new kind of humorous infinity. He hears the screech of the survival instinct in a jet-fighter flypast, and brings sacred feelings to the detritus of a night out in the city. Plants abandoned in a greenhouse are ‘Waterless, bolting, panicked’, a perfectly vigorous description that encapsulates the energy in this life-affirming collection.’
