Nocturne by Jodie Hollander

Nocturne by Jodie Hollander

Set in a technicolour world of dreams, ghosts, classical music, and Key West storms, Jodie Hollanders compelling second collection charts the emotional journey of the daughter of a professional classical pianist.

‘In Jodie Hollander’s poems, it is always monsoon seasonThings come crashing down from the sky - pianos, coconuts, kangaroos, telephone receivers - into a fragile world, and the poems look up from the debris, changed.’
Caroline Bird

‘Jodie Hollander, who may be one of the best poets at work right now, follows up her brilliant My Dark Horses with Nocturne, which continues her hard exploration of generational trauma and familial abuse… Something I found especially moving is the awareness and channelling of her rage, which floored me throughout.’ Juliano Zaffino

‘Nocturne, Jodie Hollander’s second collection following her stunning 2017 debut, My Dark Horses, is certainly of the night – these poems chant and sing the scales of human experience against a backdrop of unknowable wildness. Her poems chime with the music of the spheres collaborating in a symphony that is both an aural feast and a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. Nocturne makes truly beautiful music.’ Victoria Kennefick

‘A crashing, highly tempestuous work… These are powerful and memorable poems within an equally powerful and resonant collection.’ J.S. Watts, High Window
