Nocturne

Longlisted for Laurel Prize 2023.

Set in a technicolour world of dreams, ghosts, classical music, and Key West storms, Jodie Hollander's compelling second collection charts the emotional journey of the daughter of a professional classical pianist. These bold and arresting poems, rich with musicality, and fierce in their emotional honesty, chart the complicated repercussions of family dysfunction and musical obsession while traversing the landscape of the human condition and exploring the need for refuge in the natural world.
