Last of the Halcyon Days

Julie Ryan

$19.95

An earlier draft of this book won the 2014 International Writers’ Workshop Kathleen Grattan prize for a sequence of poems. Award judge Janet Charman said that the poems jumped out at her as “intellectually chewy; fascinating; astutely and provocatively nutty; overall an entirely rewarding read.”

“Last of the Halcyon Days is so well pointed that, unless you were told otherwise, you would not know this was the poet’s first collection. It’s the work of a very capable poet.” – Nicholas Reid

About the author
