Poetry Book Launch: Justice for Romeo by Siobhan Hodge
Join Crow Books for the launch of a new collection by Perth poet, Siobhan Hodge.
To be launched by John Kinsella.
Justice for Romeo is a poetry collection that reflects on the complex legacy of horse-human connections.
‘Hodge’s Romeo is, or was, a horse, and this collection is the first Australian book of poetry entirely given to horses and human interactions with them. Hodge’s writing is spare, and the poems leave us no doubt about her view of the injustices done. Hodge’s poetry ranges from Shakespearean sonnet to prose poem, its power of sensory evocation a fine vehicle for conveying such experience.’ – Dennis Haskell
‘It is that sense of love, a complicated love rather than innocent, apolitical, naïve, that sustains Justice for Romeo, and gives to us a remarkable portrait of who we are and how horses mean so much to our collective culture as a whole.’ – Robert Wood
