A poetry collection by Liz Howard.

Liz Howard

The danger and necessity of living with each other is at the core of Liz Howard's daring and intimate second collection.Letters in a Bruised Cosmosasks who do we become after the worst has happened? Invoking the knowledge histories of Western and Indigenous astrophysical science, Howard takes us on a breakneck river course of radiant and perilous survival in which we are invited to "reforge [ourselves] inside tomorrow's humidex". Everyday observation, family history, and personal tragedy are sublimated here in a propulsive verse that is relentlessly its own. Part autobiography, part philosophical puzzlement, part love song,Letters in a Bruised Cosmosis a book that once read will not soon be forgotten. (From McClelland & Stewart)
