Tilt

Winner of the Prize for Poetry at the 2019 Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards

Tilt follows the skewed itinerary of attachment and loss, possession and dispossession; the movement of people and things, from Greta Garbo’s Manhattan exile to the Green Bans of 1970s Sydney to the precarious passages of deracinated subjects.

In its detours through the copia of material history, lived experience and the archive of poetic forms, the book itself becomes a teeming repository of the real.
