Fitzroy North 3068

by Yvette Henry Holt

Fitzroy North 3068 explores Henry Holt’s pulsating psycho-geographical R.M. Williams footprints from Western Arrernte (Hermannsburg) to Westminster with many stops in between. It is a wild and erotic ride.

In Fitzroy North 3068 poet Yvette Henry Holt weaves a web of humour, confrontation, complaints, sex, childhood, livelihood, reflection, deferred intimacy, poetry, insecurity, truth, and emotional procrastination. This volume holds dialogue between a Jewish analyst and a geographically wayward east-coast blackfella travelling from Central Australia to Melbourne’s inner city in order to figure out what it’s all about. Fitzroy North 3068 is awash with humour that holds similar in input and outcome, and equally as dry as the proverbial bone.


A collection of memories, temperament and Henry Holt’s resolve to become neither patient nor client throughout her confessional sittings allows these poems to plunge cold hard and fast into the depths of a subconscious fortitude, all the while revealing follicles from life with humour, insecurity, Lutheranism and Jewish wit. It is a wild and erotic ride.
