Stitching Things TogetherHighly Commended, IP Picks Best Poetry, 2010 This collection travels well, from the author's engagement with science as a medical practitioner to her appreciation and penetration of the Holocaust, to the issues facing contemporary Jews and the State of Israel and her experiences as a migrant to Australia. It is a poetry of risk but also one of transcendance over the challenges facing people in an increasingly dangerous and unpoetic world. |
