Winterlude

Winterlude is a collection of poetry about migration, language and hybridity.

Like Gerry Turcotte's novel, Flying in Silence, published in 2001 by Brandl & Schlesinger, which was shortlisted for The Age Book of the Year 2001,Winterlude looks at the question of identity and belonging, through a series of poems that focus on the politics of language and migration.

What does it mean to be between worlds: French and English, Australian and Canadian, the past and the present? Winterlude is Turcotte's second collection of poetry. His first collection of poems, Neighbourhood of Memory, was published in London and Australia, and some of its poems were set on the NSW HSC.
