Fitzroy North 3068

Yvette Henry Holt weaves a web of humour, confrontation, childhood, livelihood, reflection, sexuality, noir magic, and emotional procrastination upon her global travels departing from Fitzroy North.

In Fitzroy North 3068, poet Yvette Henry Holt crafts a dialogue between therapist and a geographically wayward east-coast blackfella travelling from Central Australia to Melbourne's inner city to figure out what it's all about. For Henry Holt, the Big Bang Theory starts in 3068 under voluntary psychoanalysis, and the collection is awash with humour, as dry as the proverbial bone. Explore Henry Holt's pulsating psycho-geographical (Lady Yearling size 11) R.M. Williams boot-prints from Western Arrernte (Hermannsburg) to Westminster London and many whistle-stops in between.

This dazzling collection of poetry comes alive with remarkable discoveries - circling Gertrude Street, vegan cafes, St. Georges Road, Sydney Road, the US, the UK, Greece, Canada - all in search of her very own true north. A kaleidoscopic collection of memories and temperament, combined with Henry Holt's resolve to become neither patient nor client, allows her poetry to plunge cold, hard, and fast into the depths of subconscious fortitude. Pop the kettle on and fasten your seat-belts, for this is a wild, wild ride.
