Huge thanks to Jess Checkland, whose review of Public. Open. Space. was published by Writing WA this week.
‘Within this collection,’ Checkland writes, ‘Larsen thoughtfully examines our connections, not only in the digital realm but also in real life, with a specific focus on the challenges faced by women and non-binary individuals as they coexist within these spaces, often hindered by metaphorical “firewalls”.’
‘… Larsen offers a distinctive perspective on topics rooted in feminism yet extending to broader political and interpersonal concerns. Her work guides readers through the complex landscapes of our modern world, urging us to engage in the critical dialogues of our time.’
‘… Through a fusion of evocative language and thought-provoking imagery, Kate Larsen crafts a compelling exploration of contemporary issues that captivates and challenges readers.’
‘The potential of Public. Open. Space. to ignite conversations and kindle empathy makes it a significant addition to the realm of contemporary poetry.’
