'The title brookings: the noun has different levels of significance: venturing into a brook's safe appearance, when it will turn to a river, and in extension, a noun to signify the misuse of something politically safe and sure as a distraction to conceal something politically dangerous. he poems observe how political decisions are concealed by ideas of rescue, protection, safety.'

'Male writers and critics seem more prone than their female counterparts to making claims about each other’s genius. After revisiting Jennifer Maiden’s work for this review, I feel it’s time to buck that trend. Maiden’s work is idiosyncratic, urgent and brutally intelligent. She is also committed to her imbrication in the politics of the world, dedicated to her art, and bent on making her own way forward. In fact, when her former publisher stopped producing her work, her daughter set up an independent feminist press to do the job.' (Introduction)
