Book launch: How Does It Hurt? by Stephanie de Montalk
How Does It Hurt? (Victoria University Press), is a unique blend of memoir, imaginative biography and poetry, and the seventh book by Victoria Creative Writing PhD Stephanie de Montalk.
A former Victoria University Writer in Residence who has also worked as a nurse and documentary film maker, Stephanie was awarded her PhD in 2014. How Does It Hurt? formed the creative component of her PhD dissertation, which explored the nature of chronic pain and, in particular, the paradox of writing about it, 'notwithstanding pain's resistance to verbal expression.'
How Does It Hurt? is a groundbreaking contribution to the understanding of chronic pain, and a spellbinding literary achievement.
The IIML's Director Damien Wilkins will launch the book and the author will be available to sign copies. (Hardback, $40.) All are welcome.
