The Star in the Branches, James Peake's second collection, is an intense and heartfelt examination of memory, how it pains and consoles, deepens and shrinks, is both equal to, and less than, the objects and people who come to reside there.

Focusing on the fundamental principles of naval architecture, this book delves into ship design, stability, buoyancy, resistance, propulsion, and construction. James Peake presents complex mathematical concepts in a clear manner, making it suitable for readers of varying expertise. Illustrated with diagrams, it serves as a valuable resource for naval architects and shipbuilders. As a facsimile reprint of the 1849 original, it aims to preserve and promote important literature, despite potential imperfections from its antiquarian nature.
In his carefully meditated debut collection of poetry, James Peake explores the imagination's material legacy - how our ideas have entered wood and stone, celluloid and skin, metal and glass, and become restless in the process.
