The Propaganda Poster Girl - Amy Brown
Victoria University Press, ISBN 978-0-86473-574-4, $25.00 pbk
What emerges from this collection, without ever leaning on the familiar modes of confession, is a compelling self-portrait. Where other young poets might have found only feelings, Amy Brown finds images and scenes to carry the burden of disclosure. Rather than endless interiors, there’s a palpable, recognisable world in the work. This is a thoughtful, mature and provocative collection.
