Description
Liz Howard's latest collection, Letters in a Bruised Cosmos, is a powerful and deeply personal work that explores the human experience in the face of adversity. Drawing on her knowledge of Western and Indigenous astrophysical science, Howard crafts a verse that is both propulsive and introspective. This book is part autobiography, part philosophical inquiry, and part love song, as Howard grapples with the aftermath of trauma and invites us to "reforge ourselves inside tomorrow's humidex". With everyday observation, family history, and personal tragedy woven into its fabric, Letters in a Bruised Cosmos is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Through its innovative use of language and form, this collection offers a unique perspective on the human condition, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
