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
