This is a compelling collection from a young poet whose uniquely witty and reflective voice engages with the joys and losses wrought by the passing of time. In these laconic, yet thought-provoking and often heart-rending poems, the writer grapples with the challenges of youth edging into maturity, dealing with grief, loss and love. The style is sharp, playful and often seasoned with an undercurrent of sadness which lends a bitter-sweet flavour to the whole.
“There’s a confident, and deceptive plainness to the language here, a voice that is comfortable with words and with a reverence for quiet exploration, calm observation of mysteries that may or may not unravel, almost a plainsong acceptance of world and community. In Noble Rot, D.S.Maolalai holds a steady eye on a brittle, shifting present.”
Ross Hattaway
