Tight Bindings by Sarah Temporal
With unflinching honesty and lyrical precision, Tight Bindings grapples with embodied experiences and moments of transition. Birth, death, sex, illness, desire, and motherhood are all brought into conversation with the stories we tell and the secrets we keep. The poems trace a journey of self-discovery through confession, transformation, and a suite of reclaimed fairy tales. This debut collection sings us into story, into a place of inseparable darkness and light. It is for anyone who has yearned to break free.
Holocene Pointbreaks by Jake Goetz
Written amid the COVID lockdowns of 2020, Holocene Pointbreaks embraces the geographical restriction during that period to create a triptych of local meanderings; an archipelago of poetic islands that link three unique ecologies located on the Countries of the Dharawal and Eora Nations.
