AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'‘Sydney Road Poems articulates the layers and structures of feeling and history in the course of a street in Melbourne, one which has been all too eagerly ossified as a gentrified playground of the bourgeois ‘hipster.’ These poems rescue and animate the site’s truths. Frascarelli’s is a committed work of resistance, and a fascinating work of art.’ (Ali Alizadeh)' (Publication summary)

Works about this Work

Re-imagining Place : A Psychogeographic Reading of Carmine Frascarelli’s Sydney Road Poems Jake Goetz , 2018 single work essay
— Appears in: Cordite Poetry Review , 1 May no. 86 2018;

'What can the original concepts underpinning psychogeography lend to a discussion of the relation between poetry and place in contemporary Australian poetics? Can the Paris-based wanderings of Guy Debord and the Situationist Internationale (SI) bring to the fore new meanings of being and creating in urban Australia? To delve into these questions this essay conducts a psychogeographic reading of Carmine Frascarelli’s 2016 book, Sydney Road Poems (Rabbit Poets Series), using key concepts put forth by Debord and the SI. Through such an approach, I believe particular psychogeographic motives – often of a political nature – will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the approach taken by Frascarelli in writing his poem. Beginning first with a short historical survey of the interrelation between walking and artistic creation, and how Frascarelli’s writing practice can be regarded in this tradition, the essay will then use the SI’s concepts of dérive, the idea of play, as well as touching on detournement and the effects of collage, to demonstrate how a psychogeographic writing practice can be considered a socio-critical tool – one which has allowed Frascarelli to re-imagine place through a de-spectacularisation of society, or more specifically, Sydney Road in the Melbourne, Australia suburb of Brunswick.'
