New book – Horse – Ania Walwicz

Congrats to poet, playwright, and Deakin alumna Dr Ania Walwicz on the publication of her book, Horse (UWAP). Arising from Ania’s PhD thesis, Horse was the winner of the 2017 Alfred Deakin Medal. Witness Ania’s excellent impersonation of Sigmund Freud on the cover!

Enter into the world of imaginative writing that crosses over into theories of language and the mind: “A fairytale. Magic horse tells me. I grow a beard. Who is me? Work crosses boundaries between poetics, theory and autobiography. An opera of the self. I am the diva. Dark comedy and terror of psychoanalysis comes to life here. A learning experience. Layered text. I become the Doctor. The composition of the self. The work of memory, charm and play.”
