'In all the work of Brian Brock, we have a scientist - a biologist - who is equally a poet. The felt life is in all he writes, whether it is place, people, often connected with the past, the near and distant past. In letters to friends, in descriptions of birds, predator and prey, in love with them all, always those verbs. 'Light' glows with them. He is at home in his country, in his backyard reading the constellations. In the time before dawn. In the sounds, the colours, the textures. And we are with him, delighting in the depth of observation, of his engagement with it all. Brian Brock offers a rich evocative harvest. Enjoy it with a glass of wine, coffee or a cup of tea. In 1985, I asked him to read to my Year 10 Advanced English class for students to meet the poet in the scientist. Now everyone can meet him in Summer Harvest.' - Erica Jolly
