Hotel Hyperion, by Lisa Gorton (Australia-at-Large & Merton 1994), receives a rave review from the Sydney Morning Herald

"Lisa Gorton's second collection, Hotel Hyperion, is very much a book of interiors, both literal and metaphoric. It reinforces an impression of a very distinctive sensibility, foreshadowed in her debut collection, Press Release, but more clearly seen here. The book is also frequently ekphrastic - which perhaps partly explains its thoughtful and relatively low-key tone. Gorton, earlier on, wrote a PhD on John Donne and a contemporary version of that poet's formal sense shows through here, too." Read more at the Sydney Morning Herald
