2023 will be ‘the year of the home-grown book,’ Jane Sullivan writes in The Age / Sydney Morning Herald. ‘The pandemic is fading as a popular topic, but we’re still preoccupied with climate change, racism and sexism. It’s notable how many books, particularly life stories, are written by women and non-binary people.’
Surprised and delighted to find my own collection of poetry, Public.Open.Space., included on her list of standout titles you’re going to read in 2023.
Others to watch out for are Omar Sakr’s Non-essential Work (UQP, April); and Kate Larsen’s Public.Open.Space (Fremantle, July), her debut after a decade working as an insta poet.
