Liquid Amber Press is delighted to publish the second edition of Dominique Hecq’s book of experimental poetry After Cage – a serial composition in word and movement on time and silence.

The Liquid Amber 2022 Poetry Prize is now open!
What moments startle us out of our ways of understanding ourselves and the world? What might it mean to encounter the strange skin of the unexpected?
Step out. Take a risk. Write about it.
All poets are invited to join in by exploring the theme ‘The Poetry of Encounter’ – through a provocation of images and words.
Entry form, guidelines and provocation sheet here: https://liquidamberpress.com.au/2022/02/08/2022-poetry-prize-encounter/
