Wagtail 84 - The
Inverted World
"Travelling alone can be a time of soul searching, of observing ourselves and
others from new perspectives - and one doesn't always like what one finds. One
can end up Travelling Backwards - Lost in New Zealand, as Graham Catt
did. Catt's brutal honesty, his blade-sharp irony and his ability to capture
vivid scenes and moods make this book a unique poetic travelogue: a string of
cynical postcards."
The Hieronymus Bosch
Shopping Mall
"Overall this is an incredibly
tight, sharply original collection of insightful, relevant poetry. Catt has
developed and honed a style that warrants no comparisons: it is his and his
alone. The Hieronymus Bosch Shopping Mall opens its gleaming glass doors
upon a new frontier for Australian poetry. Be brave. Step inside." "Phantasmagorical! Catt's collection uncovers the suddenly surprising. The uncanny emerges in strong, lean poems that are so tightly sprung their revelations come as masterful juxtapositions, releasing the unconscious. Read these poems - you are as crucial to them as they are to you."
Kate Deller-Evans
Shooting Stars
Fiona Tully, Voices "Shooting Stars gives readers s sense of comfort, of confidence in the proud power of emotions... Graham Catt is a new poet but one who has shown firm control over some old poetic tricks. His openness will be treasured, his few mistakes forgiven." John de Laine, Cordite
