About the Book

The theme of imitationa facet of humanity which affects all actions and speechforms the central focus of this imaginative collection of poems. The degree to which imitation is never just a simple act of copying but rather a source of play and performance is explored, as is imitations ability to serve as a source of power for any subculture. Populated by real and imaginary interviews with people on the street, this compilation also echoes the words and works of other authors, with creative and thoughtful results.

Review :
"There are several ... pieces in the book ... which are worth the cover price all by themselves." Quill & Quire"Brockwells unfettered curiosity and his sensitivity are commendable. It is rare to encounter a poet who is as interested in experimentation as in engaging with the tradition." Matrix"The texts are playful and experimental, jarringly erratic in form, yet still masterfully stringent ... The Real Made Up has no respect for comfort zones. A wonderful work of harsh unrealities." The Danforth Review
