Chapbook
The way Jamie mingled clear bright nature and its coming and going with the ongoing of the pandemic was so measured, calm, specific and unsentimental, and so powerful for that. The ‘shy white bells...’ / ‘...get the jab’ - the layering of one world with another, the truth of the natural world commingled with this other lived reality, the dual vision of it, really wonderful. ’Seeking/ Calamity continues to be rewarded with desecrations/ Of the human heart, but sweet box blossoms.’ Yes, oh yes it does. The quiet and dignified cadence, lovely, I’m a terrible critic I either love poetry and it sings to me or it doesn’t, and Jamie's does, I loved the voice coming up out of the words, I wanted it all to go on and on.
