Holocene Pointbreak - Paperback

by Jake Goetz (Author)

Written amid the COVID lockdowns of 2020, Holocene Pointbreaks embraces the geographical restriction during that period to create a triptych of local meanderings; an archipelago of poetic islands that link three unique ecologies located on the Countries of the Dharawal and Eora Nations.

Goetz has an impressively developed historical consciousness, and his interest in the 'natural world' is profoundly informed by his understanding of the transnational forces that shape the modern concept of nature, especially the imbricated ideologies of capitalism and colonialism. - David McCooey

From his interest in the drift method, Goetz invokes a Marxist ecopoetics in which spontaneity - or perhaps more aptly receptivity - is a guiding spirit. - Bonny Cassidy

Goetz's thoughts lap, drag then roil in his great meander along the waterways of Sydney and the escarpment of the South Coast. - Emily Stewart
