Poetry is life burning on the page.-Leonard CohenThis eclectic collection by Australian poet Gwenda Steff evokes emotional and sensory imagery through a diverse range of poetic forms.It is a window into the heart and soul of experiences of beauty of wildlife of memory-and of a daily working life.It explores experiences of love joy humour work family-and of loss and protracted grief.It also confronts some of the issues of ecological and climatic destruction.
