Bryan Walpert’s fourth collection of lyric poems ranges in its focus from flowers to infinities, from laundry to eternity, but is founded most fully on what it is to move into middle age – to wait still for life’s promised brass band to arrive. Whether writing from the perspective of a parent watching childhood slip away or ventriloquising the 17th-century scientific language of Robert Hooke and Robert Boyle to craft surprising love poems, he engages the world with a keen and often witty perception, a deft juggling of the sentence, and a sense of wonder. Frequently playful in approach, the poems are always serious in their engagement with the bewildering nature of time passing – of growing up, and growing old. AUTHOR Bryan Walpert is the author of three previous collections of poetry – Etymology, A History of Glass and most recently Native Bird. He is also the author of a novella, Late Sonata, winner of the Seizure Viva La Novella prize; a collection of short fiction, Ephraim’s Eyes; and two scholarly books: Poetry and Mindfulness: Interruption to a Journey, and Resistance to Science in Contemporary American Poetry. His work has appeared in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the US and Canada, and has been recognised by the Montreal International Poetry Award, the New Zealand International Poetry Competition and the James Wright Poetry Award (US). He is a professor in creative writing at Massey University, Auckland. More on Bryan can be found at bryanwalpert.com.

Soft Lining and Elegant Design
Color: White, Size: 3-Layer
This jewelry box offers great value and has a surprisingly high-quality appearance upon arrival. I think it would be an ideal size for someone with a small to medium-sized jewelry collection, providing ample space without being too bulky. The compartment layout seems very well-thought-out and functional for organizing a standard assortment of jewelry, including dedicated slots for rings, grids for earrings, and longer slots for necklaces, which should prevent tangling. The velvet or felt lining inside feels very soft, providing good protection for delicate jewelry pieces. Overall, I am impressed with this jewelry box and would definitely recommend it to others.

Very impressive jewelry box
Color: White, Size: 3-Layer, Color: White, Size: 3-Layer
The Global Ka three drawer jewelry box is very impressive. When I first opened the box my immediate reaction was “Oh, wow!” It’s really pretty. There is a glass lid and separate areas for rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. I really like it and think it would make a great gift. Unfortunately, the jewelry box I received did have some quality control issues (several noticeable flaws on the front, as visible in the photos); otherwise, this would definitely be rated 5 stars. Though disappointing, the flaws do not affect the function of the jewelry box. I will still enjoy using it and consider it a good value for the money.
