Heart Eyes

The second poetry pamphlet from Suki Hollywood, Heart Eyes explores themes of babyification, Jesus' inbox, dissassociation through media and picking up the phone. This full colour 40 page pamphlet is accompanied by photos from collaborator x.pointless.

Suki Hollywood is a writer and poet whose work has been featured in Gutter, Clav Mag and The Selkie.

‘These poems made me feel like a newborn baby, squealing in the delivery room for comfort and to see if anyone can still hear me as “I did not consent to live in such times.” Heart Eyes “pocket sized” achingly sweet poems speak to the detachment and loss experienced over lockdown – of language, touch and certainty.’
Anjeli Caderamenpulle, Boys (Spam Press)

‘Suki Hollywood gifts us a portal into a rosy endless scroll spanning ages of a youth that refuses to run out; taking Jesus, society, and blood family everywhere to task; heart bleeding in pink droplets for the emotional condition of the precarious worker.’
River Ellen MacAskill, Virility at Home (Death to Workers Building Skyscrapers)

‘There’s an insistent beat of anger compelling you to read on: no time to sit with this tragedy when the next is already urging your attention. In a world which seems to rattle through litanies of trauma at a rate which would have sent past generations spiraling, but which younger generations are expected to shoulder with a shrug, these poems cry out: “Do you know / what I wouldn’t / give to be / a baby for five / fucking minutes?”’
Ruthie Kennedy, Room to Swing a Cat (OrangeApplePress)
