Adverse Camber by Simon Rennie Matthew Dickman part assemblage – draws onIn Adverse Camber Simon Rennie gives us fragments of wisdom and kindness, delivered with graceful phrase making and an undertow of humour. From the outset he celebrates the imagination with precision looking into deep space he finds world mocking worlds which perfectly renders a new kind of humorous infinity. He hears the screech of the survival instinct in a jet fighter flypast, and brings sacred feelings to the detritus of a night out in the city.
