Reviews

[Hecate · Rating 5 out of 5]

A series of poems that fashion an exquisite memoir, centering on the author's experience of breast cancer. Candid, unsentimental, angry, funny, the entire range of emotion laid down with precision and in luminous words. Worthy winner of the Ingrid Jonker award.
