In choosing the winning manuscript for the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize judgeAndrew Hudgins remarked With immense poetic verve Pelizzon finds flamboyancein places where it has been forgotten and brings it back to vivid life andshe sees it for what it is.

Penelope Pelizzon demonstrates again andagain a worldly perspective made clear and complex by her intelligence that isitself a treat to witness at play. Whether set in a Purgatory garden or on theplatform of a bombed train station these poems enthrall with language that isin the words of one reader both the vehicle for vision and the visionitself.Nostos is indeed a voyage of the mind and heart guided by Pelizzonscompelling images and rhythms and one that returns us to where we started butnot unchanged. «
