In the Broken Things

Gillian Prew's In the Broken Things is a collection of verse which brings together a series of poems inspired by dreams and a series of poetry abstracts. Gillian Prew is adept at the art of poetry as displayed by her subtle yet masterful use of language literary device and images. Gillian quite organically spins sophisticated verse with an artistry that is familiar to the common reader. Prew's approach to staples of philosophical and poetic thought hackneyed by the marriage of art/business such as: love sex and the questions of life curve expectations. The tone of many of these pieces is a sobering and dulcet mix but it is this realistic expression that offers a nostalgic response not lustered by pretense. In The Broken Things by Gillian Prew is real verse by one of this generation's best unknown poets; an illumination into the soul a captured essence of the human condition.
