Learning to Have Lost: 13 (Ipsi Chapbook)

Oz Hardwicks collection of prose poems Learning to have lost the passing of time memory old age illness death and how these resonate and move within and around each other . True to form Hardwick achieves a sense of a musical refrain and rhythm underpinning and connecting this absorbing collection. While the subject matter is weighty and the pain from the litany of loss candidly expressed a resolute humour asserts itself throughout that is sometimes sinister sometimes surreal often surprising and enormously engaging.
