Andy’s most recent poetry collection is Human Looking (Giramondo, 2021), shortlisted for the Victorian Premier’s Prize for Poetry. As he notes on his website, "these autobiographical and biographical poems speak with the voices of the disabled and disfigured, in myth, art, history and the present moment."Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.We’re pleased to offer Andy Jackson’s poem, and invite you to sign up here for the latest from Poetry Unbound.
