About the book
James Norcliffe’s eleventh poetry collection, Letter to ‘Oumuamua, follows his recent receipt of the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement in Poetry.

In this wry and witty collection – addressed to the first interstellar object ever to be detected in our solar system – Norcliffe applies a cool, clear eye to human life on Earth. Our foibles and absurdities are laid bare, but so too is the human capacity for love, desire, sorrow and regret.
