Neon Daze

4.6/5 ( ratings)

Was it wrong to bring the baby
to a Grand Final party?

Neon Daze is a verse journal of the first four months of motherhood. As these poems trace the dramatic reconfiguring of one’s world, they also upend genre and notions of linear time. Guided by radical honesty, grace, wit, and her distinctive command of language, Amy Brown’s third poetry collection searches restlessly for a way to map a self that is now ‘part large and old, part new and small’.

Cover: Séraphine Pick, Untitled, 2018, coloured pencil on paper, 305x200mm. Courtesy of the artist and Michael Lett Gallery, Auckland
