The Jupiter Collisions is the first new collection from Lachlan Mackinnon in more than a decade. Monterey Cypress (1988) and The Coast of Bohemia (1991) announced Mackinnon as a poet of cool evocation, writing of exile and belonging, and breakdown. He has also written critical accounts of Eliot, Auden, Lowell and Shakespeare.
