Poems from 2017 until early 2020
 Published by Hunter Publishers in  December 2021.
 Stasis Shuffle plays with style and  experiments with form. The  poems are fragmentary and  discursive, knowing and wry;  bursting with jokes, wordplay,  strange observation, and personal  revelation.
 Pam Brown’s poetry maps the  edges of thought, turning with a  flash of discovery to think ‘what  cannot be thought’. This is a  significant new collection by one  of Australia’s most singular and  influential contemporary poets.


'If you want – and who doesn’t? – a poet who effects a transfiguration of the commonplace, it is Pam Brown.’ — Justin Clemens

   fragmented poems from the lost months
   between the summers of 2019 and 2021
   what's 'summer'? a climate anachronism

   ---

   parts of the poems
   emanated from
   a nocturnal space
   not always 'at night'

   ---

   presented together -
   some underthinking
   a series of contingencies
   a small event -
   an uneven booklet
   endings & spacings
