The Star in the Branches, James Peake' s second collection, is an intense and heartfelt examination of memory, how it pains and consoles, deepens and shrinks, is both equal to, and less than, the objects and people who come to reside there. At either end of the book are the disappearances of loved ones: a parent succumbing to dementia, and a school friend lost to more voluntary forms of forgetting. Elsewhere are poems of erotic love, big city loneliness, and the boon and burden of family, poems of praise in which the spiritual and the tangible are not remote but intimate. From the ancient quarries of Naxos to the electronica of Aphex Twin, these highly distinctive poems celebrate the unique wherever they find it.
James Peake was educated at Bristol University and Trinity College, Dublin. He has worked in trade publishing for several years, including at Penguin Random House and Pan Macmillan as well as leading independents and literary agencies. He lives in London with his wife and son.
