Event Description

Join us for the launch of two new poetry collections from Vagabond Press:

People of Earth by Chris Edwards
Letters from Ausland by Louis Armand

introduced by Pam Brown and John Tranter, at Gleebooks, Sunday February 6 at 3.30pm

About Chris Edwards

At a time when bricolage, cut-ups and the general bullying of other people's words about the page is flourishing in poetry, Chris Edwards' work stands out as an example of what agencies can still achieve. Exacting works of (mis)quotation, (mis)translation and prestiditation, his poems are as one critic put it part Goons, part Proust. People of Earth, Edwards' first full-length collection of poetry, with its great gift of humour opens Australian poetry out onto previously unexplored dimensions of the strange outer reaches of inner space.

About Louis Armand

'Armand is an Australian writer and visual artist who has lived in Prague since 1994 where he directs the Centre for Critical and Cultural Theory in the Philosophy Faculty of Charles University. Letters from Ausland is his first full-length collection of poetry in almost a decade. His poetry places language and experience in tensions that resonate and reveal the daily constructions and deconstructions of the real, remapping the trajectories of the contemporary lyric with intellectual acuity and generosity.
