Title Review of ‘boots’ by Nadia Rhook Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 1/01/21 Description With her feet firmly on the ground, boot shod or not, Nadia Rhook’s poetry collection boots takes a keen, probing and sometimes painful look at the complexities of belonging in our modern world as well as the history that informs such belonging. Published as part of the UWA Publishing poetry series, this collection is distinguished by its merging of traditional facets of both poetry and prose. The work encompasses the use of fragmentation, repetition, shifting structure and figurative language. It is as if Rhook is seeking a method of writing with uncompromising clarity that plunges the reader first-hand into the experience and concerns of each poem. From ideas about migration, settlement of the land, displacement, identity and belonging, Rhook amasses a number of poems that question everything.
