Description

Uncommon collection of poetry by the Australian author. Her first solo book of poetry. "This is a book about journeys, especially the journeys women make today - with all the baggage of desire, the need for knowledge, love and freedom. They explore the relationships between mother and daughter, the tragedy of AIDS, the difficult paths of feminism, the births and deaths of ordinary people.
