Description:
In the micro stories of Lost Words, Xavier Hennekinne's narrator takes us on a reflective journey
from his entranced yet perplexed youth in France to sleepless nights as a
contemporary parent. This compelling voyage through time and mood is
accompanied by images by Phil Day. Just as the prose entwines us in its subtle recurring
rhythms, the prints and drawings are never literal, taking ordinary objects but
revealing their sinuous shapes out of dark and suggestive structures.
An intriguing collaboration where words and pictures seem
to travel in parallel, but intersect and connect while remaining true to their own
essential threads.' — Julian Davies, author of Call Me and Crow Mellow
'...a
series of uncanny and neo-surreal moments that obsessively circle around each
other.' — Cassandra Atherton, Poet and Associate Professor of Writing and Literature, Deakin University
