Meg Mooney has the language to speak of silences and centres - and of breathing and heartbeats the odd fact that one keeps growing older - and of country and time and how to listen to them. Like your other wise and wry and gentle books Meg this ones permanent. - Peter Bishop Honest generous wise and funny Meg Mooneys poems bring you straight into the gritty idiosyncratic daily experience of life in central Australia. - Jansis OHanlon Chief Executive Officer Varuna the National Writers House
