The poetry collection focuses on the strangeness of everyday life, and how even the simplest of objects or events can help us see with fresh eyes.
An old table can be the entry to an unexplored history, a film can take us on a journey we never planned, and an infestation of wasps can turn into a war we never asked to fight.

“I have just recently discovered Brooke’s poetry and am so glad I did. This collection contains poetry that I will delight in returning to again and again to savor the richness of the imagery and the fullness of the realities of life.” (A 5 star Amazon review)
