Yvette Holt

Yvette Henry Holt heralds from the Bidjara, Yiman and Wakaman nations of Queensland. A multi-award-winning poet, essayist, editor and an accomplished social landscape photographer. For more than two decades, Yvette has worked and volunteered tirelessly across the bandwidth of Australian literature, in recent years she has held positions of national executive leadership roles — advisory boards including First Nations Australian Writers Network, Australian Poetry AP and the Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing.

Yvette’s writings have been translated into multiple languages both online and traditional publishing format. Yvette’s unvarnished poetic lyricism reflects a baseline of psychogeographical and psychoanalytical reflections, global travel, therapy, cartographical archetypes, desert dwellings and matrilineal herstory. Fitzroy North 3068 (published by Upswell Publishing) is Yvette’s second collection of poetry.

Yvette best describes herself as the occasional poet.
