Estill Pollock’s poetry collection Entropy by turns bears witness to the disenfranchisement of people and places, and testifies to the resiliency of the human spirit. Gritty scenes, often with a dystopic aura, are limned with realistic imagery of cinematographic vividness. We encounter culturally diverse characters and situations, keenly observed with an uncommon mix of empathy and asperity. In Entropy, we find a visionary collection of stark and unflinching reflections that we need for these times.
— Alexander Pepple, Editor, Able Muse
Estill
Pollock’s beguiling exploration of the state of entropy has a refreshingly
wide-eyed focus that digs deep into the matter of the world. He draws the
reader into bubbles of demonic and aggressive behaviour, which seemingly have
no borders. They appear as a continuum with science and religion as mere
boundary conditions. There is light within the darkness, through attention to
the outcast, émigré, the contrary spirit, and the desire to return home, as
measurable entities. Beneath this, there is also the certainty in the eternal
present, the elements and making of human life as perfection.
— David Caddy, Editor, Tears in the Fence
