Description

This debut collection of poetry explores the threads and gaps in family and national story both oral and archival to connect multiple generations of migration, separation, adoption, secrecy and reunion. The poems connect seemingly distant times and places from slave plantations in North America, to the rookeries of London, a bend in the Nepean River and a street corner in The Rocks and pay homage to other poets communing with archival women, including Jeanine Leanne, Natalie Harkin, Elfie Shiosaki and M. NourbeSe Philip.
