Aurora Town Annie Katchinska

Aurora Town is the hotly anticipated first collection from Eric Gregory Award winner Annie Katchinska. It takes its title from an underground shopping street in Sapporo, a city in the north of Japan where Katchinska lived for two years. The poems are warped, diced up, loosely autobiographical texts built from her notebooks, illuminated by a ceaselessly inventive creative spirit. Aurora Town neatly captures the displacement and loneliness of living far from home, of turning to faith and then losing it, in a style which is completely her own.
