Hot on the heels of his debut book 'Love, misery and fruit crumble' Matt Chamberlain brings his second poetry collection, 'Binge Thinking'. If the world faces a triumph of pragmatism over romanticism, this book is part of the fight back. Chamberlain hangs on to nostalgia - be it doomed or flourishing - and studiously avoids practicality. Like its predecessor this book explores the joys, hurts and curiosities of everyday life and starts and ends with poignancy, but it is ultimately an excursion whose side roads are more interesting than any potential destination. The author's ability to describe complex emotions at the same time aggressively and tenderly is winning him friends on his performance poetry circuit and this collection makes his endearing work available to a wider audience.
