Nocturne Summary

Nocturne by Jodie Hollander

Longlisted for Laurel Prize 2023. Set in a technicolour world of dreams, ghosts, classical music, and Key West storms, Jodie Hollanders compelling second collection charts the emotional journey of the daughter of a professional classical pianist. These bold and arresting poems, rich with musicality, and fierce in their emotional honesty, chart the complicated repercussions of family dysfunction and musical obsession while traversing the landscape of the human condition and exploring the need for refuge in the natural world.

Nocturne Reviews

In Jodie Hollanders poems, it is always monsoon season. Things come crashing down from the sky - pianos, coconuts, kangaroos, telephone receivers - into a fragile world, and the poems look up from the debris, changed.
Caroline Bird

Jodie Hollander, who may be one of the best poets at work right now, follows up her brilliant My Dark Horses with Nocturne, which continues her hard exploration of generational trauma and familial abuse Something I found especially moving is the awareness and channelling of her rage, which floored me throughout. Juliano Zaffino


Nocturne, Jodie Hollanders second collection following her stunning 2017 debut, My Dark Horses, is certainly of the night these poems chant and sing the scales of human experience against a backdrop of unknowable wildness. Her poems chime with the music of the spheres collaborating in a symphony that is both an aural feast and a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things. Nocturne makes truly beautiful music. Victoria Kennefick
