An Inventory of Longing

Kevin Brophy’s keenly anticipated new poetry collection creates dizzyingly compelling visions of love, bewilderment and grief. There are carrots and mushrooms too, and childhood, and art, and ants. From the streets of Paris to the urban birds of Melbourne and on into the quixotic mind of a cat, Brophy’s mastery of tone, texture, wit and gorgeously surprising imagery will drive these poems far into the heart and psyche of any reader.
