AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In one of her most experimental works to date, Melbourne poet Dominique Hecq paints her words through time and space, swooping in and around a meditation on grief, death and rebirth and the age of uncertainty like a bird in flight. With the deftness of a master poet, Dominique loops each thread back on itself in a dance that keeps the reader on their toes. We pirouette with her into the great unknown. A thought-provoking poets-eye view on the strangeness of our times and the leaps of faith required to keep a sure footing while the world ties itself in knots. Guaranteed to give you a fresh perspective on this experiment we call life.' (Publication summary)

— Review of After Cage Dominique Hecq , 2019 selected work poetry

'Dominique Hecq’s After Cage (2nd edition) is presented on the page as a long poem. Yet, After Cage is more than written lyric poetry: it is a multi-generic performance piece incorporating verse and dance that Hecq calls “an experiment in poiesis” in the afterword. Movement was integral to the conception, refinement, and enactment of After Cage as both a written poetic work and a dance performance in the style of a fugue. While After Cage is a hybrid work, the poem in written form offers insight and impact as a standalone piece.'  (Introduction)

— Review of After Cage Dominique Hecq , 2019 selected work poetry

Dominique Hecq’s After Cage is a moving, looping meditation on the possibilities of both language and time. Inspired by her experiences of dance and composition, particularly Stockhausen’s Stimmung, language mirrors physical and musical movement in a series of repeated yet constantly varied threads and whorls. The pages are numberless, challenging our conceptions of what a book should be and encouraging more fluid forms of reading.' (Introduction)
