Seder

by Adam Kammerling

The innovative debut collection from Adam Kammerling, Seder is an archived and deft account of a person reckoning with their heritage and family history. Hybrid, dexterous and informed, Kammerling retraces his Jewish heritage back to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany, as poems fluctuate through time and space, leaving us with a forbidding sense that what has changed over recent decades is not enough.

got this as part of a prize package for a poetry competition a while back. it was okay, but some poems relied too heavily on the gimmick and not enough on the substance. meaning, they didn’t speak to me as much as I would have liked. all together, it was an okay collection with some obvious sore spots.

3.5/5

Moving, in the least cumbersome way. I quite like how simple the verses are but wish there was more substance in the final publication. The shortness of this makes it hard to get to know the poetry and poet.
