Tracy Hamon releases Red Curls

Tracy Hamon

Regina writer Tracy Hamon recently launched her new poetry collection, Red Curls (Thistledown Press).

Congrats, Tracy!

And yes, I missed the launch, as I was touring the beaches of Ireland at the time...

But I will soon have a copy of the book, and I wanted to share the great poster promoting Tracy's amazingly entertaining (so I am told) Regina launch!

From the Thistledown website:  

In a series of poems that move between narrative and lyric, the personas of Austrian artist Egon Schiele and his mistress/model Valerie Neuzil are revealed in exquisite detail. 

Dividing the work into three sections, equal energy is given to the artist, his model, and the alluring energy of Viennese eroticism. Creating intimacy through the use of first person and exposing drama through the use of the third, Hamon’s poems resonate with Egon’s and Valerie’s story: how they met, their intense desires, and the union and bond that would keep them together for years.  

Red Curls chronicles lives but in the retelling, captures the enterprise and intensity of Schiele as he pushed the culture of desire to new heights.
