The Heart of the Advocate
About
We celebrate the launch of Angela Costi's latest collection of poetry at the Old Magistrates' Court Melbourne with an afternoon of poetry readings, music and performance.The Heart of the Advocate (Liquid Amber Press) will be launched by poet Alana Kelsall with reading by Angela Costi accompanied by Nick Tsiavos on double bass. Other performers include Vardos and guest poet Claire Gaskin. This free event will be hosted by poet and publisher Rose Lucas.
'...fierce, compassionate, and principled. In these poems, Costi scrutinises childhood memories and legal history, revealing the rift between law and justice. These poems are alive with detail, and intimate, but also alert to intersecting kinds of violence: sexist, racist, class-based, legalistic and bureaucratic. This is an exemplar of poetic advocacy.'
