This is a collection that investigates what it means to be human, probing into the meaning of life and questioning mortality, myth both private and known and the mysterious. At once atmospheric, with a surreal blend of emotion and memory, Fresh News is a fluid and ever-shifting landscape of possibilities. These poems are restless and inquisitive. They echo a desire to forge a voice that is as curious as it is distinctive.

Review:
In the end, perhaps what sets this collection apart from all those well-intentioned, carefully-crafted, ultimately timid and hollow collections being ferried out of the writing schools is that the poet here seems genuinely caught between one breath and the next, transfixed like a moth in a darkened room. This is not dodging, or masking, or any other type of obfuscation, but a song from the heart squeezed between the bars. It is a rare and special gift. --Justin Lowe, Thylazine
These warm, spare poems move exquisitely between memory, imagination and history: from the Arctic Circle to Virginia Woolf, from two fruits and ice cream to kangaroos in Paris. Libby Hart understands that poetry is language on the point of evocation, intent on 'murmuring the world, grasping it slowly'. She is indeed a poet to watch. --Lisa Jacobson
Libby Hart s poems possess a contemplative stillness and subtlety, giving them the impression of an 'unfolding' of meaning as the work is read and reread. Hart is not a 'wordy' poet; rather, the lines are sparse and considered, each word weighty and carefully chosen. This is her first collection, and it is a worthy one. --Liz Hall-Downs, Compulsive Reader
