AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This is a poet who sees the world in very physical terms and is enraptured by colour. Watts is a poet after D H Lawrence’s own heart, finding contemporary actions and events aligned with archetypal forces and our beings as genetically determined. The title comes from one of many powerful poems about her mother and father suffering in old age.' - Dennis Haskell (Publication summary)

Interview with Julie Watts Alexis Late (interviewer), 2020 single work interview
— Appears in: Writ Poetry Review , February no. 4 2020;
'Julie Watts is a Western Australian writer. She has been published in various National and International journals and anthologies. She was shortlisted for the 2017 Montreal International Poetry Prize, won The Blake Poetry Prize 2017 and The Dorothy Hewett Award for an Unpublished Manuscript 2018. Her second poetry collection, Legacy, was published by UWA Publishing in November, 2018. She took a moment to talk to us about the story behind her Blake poem, what wasps reveal to us about human frailty, the connotations of the word ‘disarm’, the difficult origins of her book’s titular poem ‘Legacy of a Suicide’, and how images in poetry can offer a non-judgemental critique of societal issues.'
