Our lives can often be defined by unexpected moments and driven by the wonder we have for what is next. Most memorable are times when we have felt wonderful or come to discover something new and exciting from our curiosity. In his second collection, Emond has taken to reflecting on wonder in a variety of contexts, all equally thought out and engaging. The poetry itself ranges from self-aware, serious, and silly; overall, his work continues to be emotional and meditative. Status Quorum will spark a reaction in you throughout your reading, reminding you of highs, lows, and perhaps make you think of the world in a new way.
