Book Launch: The Hazards by Sarah Holland-Batt
Event Information
Description
Join us as Bronwyn Lea launches Sarah Holland-Batt's new collection of poems, The Hazards (UQP). 6pm for a 6:30pm start.
"By turns gorgeous and gut-wrenching, worldly yet intimate, Holland-Batt's The Hazards explores love and landscape from 'O California' to Queensland, Boston Common to Sicily. These 'postcards from another life' chart an inner travelogue, a new century in all its strange beauty. No one writes love poems like she does." - Kevin Young
"What a powerful and insightful interpreter of the world Holland-Batt is. She pins down the urgent and competing forces of suffering and sentience, legacy and loss." - Judith Beveridge
"Holland-Batt appears to be a major poet from the start." - The Age
