Book Launch | Sick Power Trip by Erik Kennedy
Scorpio Books and Te Herenga Waka University Press warmly welcome you to the Ōtautahi Christchurch launch of Sick Power Trip by local poet Erik Kennedy.
Scorpio Books and Te Herenga Waka University Press warmly welcome you to the Ōtautahi Christchurch launch of Sick Power Trip by local poet Erik Kennedy. These are poems that tell us: the world is unwell, and sometimes writers are, too. Kennedy scrutinises the broken social contract and the dangerous actors who seem determined to dominate us. He writes with open eyes about long COVID, living wages, self-medication and sea temperatures. Sick Power Trip is Kennedy’s most personal and vulnerable book yet.
Erik Kennedy is the author of two previous books of poems, both with Te Herenga Waka University Press: the Ockham-shortlisted There’s No Place Like the Internet in Springtime (2018) and Another Beautiful Day Indoors (2022). Originally from New Jersey, he lives in Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Thursday 10 July, 5.30pm for a 6pm start at Scorpio Books, 120 Hereford Street, Five Lanes at the BNZ Centre
