Not Quite Tasmanian is a collection of poems that takes us on an accidental journey through life. It is an observation of people and places - of food and thoughts and inevitable events such as birth death and education.The poet never professes to get it right but discovers with reflection sadness and a great deal of humour how to cope or not with everyday tasks.It began as random scraps of paper pressed like scattered leaves into a shoe box ...Once the box was open the poems gathered themselves into the authors life story ...Its not quite the whole story but its well worth reading out loud.
