Suite of poems connecting grasshopper conversion into locusts with cycles of fascism. 'Metaphors are ways of understanding the unfamiliar in terms of the familiar. And in a world that seems to be increasingly unfamiliar, disturbing, and perplexing, Joel O’Connor offers us a provocative and powerful means of making sense out of the political chaos that has emerged as nations slide or leap into what appears to be a totalitarian and fascist future. Locusts provide the metaphorical lens through which we might see how mindless, mass mania can create a nightmarish world—particularly for any individuals that might wish to escape from, or even to defy, the swarm.' Jeffrey A. Lockwood. Professor of Natural Sciences & Humanities. University of Wyoming ‘As a poet I have great admiration for Joel O’Connor. Joel has the creative ability to write of species and the natural world and then expand a chosen subject to reflect science and the behaviour and beliefs of humanity. Locust is a superb piece of writing. The nine poems bring the grasshopper/locust transformation to life. He creates images that build from innocuous beginnings (a gentle brush of a leg against another) to an unstoppable plague (on a moonlit night we take flight). His analogy to the spectre of an emerging wave of fascism fits perfectly with this suite of poems to give his writing additional ‘food’ for thought.’ Leigh Hay (Poet, Author & Editor) 'I am in awe of how Joel O'Connor has managed to integrate science into a moving piece of poetry that juxtaposes the locust with the human capacity for tyranny.' Svetlana Micic, Australian leading entomologist 'I really like “Locusts'. It feels like a step into a new dimension.' Jenny Graves, distinguished geneticist and Fellow at Latrobe University ‘As a professor, I am constantly searching for ways to engage my students and make learning fun. Joel O'Connor's poetry is an absolutely perfect way to do this. His ability to encapsulate complex topics into clever, creative, vivid and entertaining poems never fails to get my students interested and invested in science!’ Commander Matt Smart, Ph.D. Department of Ocean and Atmospheric, United States Naval Academy 'Locust is extraordinary and full of enlightenment' Sharon O'Neill singer and poet
