It is a baroque collection, playing with notions of inward and outward space, constructing its intricate perspectives with a restrained delicacy. The title sequence, 'Hotel Hyperion', is set in the future, in a space hotel where a collector gathers artefacts for a museum recording the history of space settlement. It also recalls Keats' great poem, 'The Fall of Hyperion'. Lisa Gorton's first collection Press Release (also published by Giramondo) won the Victorian Premier's Award for Poetry; she is the author of Cloudland, a novel for children, and an essayist and reviewer.
