Yvette Henry Holt: Fitzroy North 3068
In conversation with Debra Dank
5–6pm, Sunday 11 October, Fairfax Studio
Multi-award-winning First Nations poet Yvette Henry Holt is about to take you on an astonishing literary journey. Her spellbinding new collection blends psychogeography with psychoanalysis, wit with wisdom, metaphor with matrilineal memory. From Inala East to East London, from Melbourne to Memphis, Fitzroy North 3068 reflects on faith, addiction, truth and the subconscious with psychedelic originality and flair.
