Written amid the COVID lockdowns of 2020, Holocene Pointbreaks embraces the geographical restriction during that period to create a triptych of local meanderings; an archipelago of poetic islands that link three unique ecologies located on the Countries of the Dharawal and Eora Nations.
Goetz has an impressively developed historical consciousness, and his interest in the 'natural world' is profoundly informed by his understanding of the transnational forces that shape the modern concept of nature, especially the imbricated ideologies of capitalism and colonialism. - David McCooey
From his interest in the drift method, Goetz invokes a Marxist ecopoetics in which spontaneity - or perhaps more aptly receptivity - is a guiding spirit. - Bonny Cassidy
Goetz's thoughts lap, drag then roil in his great meander along the waterways of Sydney and the escarpment of the South Coast. - Emily Stewart

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. **Shortlisted, Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2025, Poetry**Holocene Pointbreaks presents a triptych of long poems that veer physically, temporally, and textually across the lands of the Dharawal and Eora Nations. From morning reflections on Australias most polluted urban waterway, the Cooks River, to a discursive rumination on the history of whaling from the cliffs of Kamay, and an archival interrogation of Australias colonial coalture on the NSW South Coast, the three drifts gathered here weave the poets own bodily thought-steps to a socio-historical critique of three resources key to the early colonial project: water, whales, and coal. As an Eco-Marxist experiment in poetic composition, or poetic composting, these local histories are further drawn into conversation with the transnational free-market forces that shaped them. Through this stratigraphic interpretation of place one where the poets own relation to different social, cultural, and historical strata is brought into question through a network of exchange Holocene Pointbreaks points toward a type of eco-antipoetics: an interrogation of not only human and nonhuman relations, but the very nature of nature, and what it means to write ecopoetry as a settler on the unceded lands of First Nations People.
