Author(s): Martha Ackroyd Curtis (Artist)

Poetry | Australian/Aotearoa

A collection of poetry and visuals for womenkind by Martha Ackroyd Curtis. The photographs chosen for this volume are selected based on delicacy, a little bit of smut, power and an extra strong dosage of humour. Curtis's poetry is simple and powerful, with a delightful appeal to the intellect through its use of imagery and metaphors to explore such things as ageing, true love, self esteem, everyday life and the erotic and transformative power of sex. An acclaimed visual artist specialising in installation art, the book’s inventive imagery fires the mind and the senses in fresh and unexpected ways. Elegant and concise yet expansive in its effect, dealing with the joys and concerns of contemporary lesbian life, these poems are a welcome addition to the queer literary scene.

Stay tuned for Martha Ackroyd Curtis in her Midsumma season of Hello Titty, incorporating an official launch and poetry reading.
