Author Description

In this second volume in AUP's occasional series, three fresh voices explore childhood memories and families past and present. Writing in spare, simple verse, Stu Bagby explores brief, intense moments in ordinary lives. Sonja Yelich presents lively pictures of an Antipodean childhood haunted by a harsh Dalmatian past; and Jane Gardner paints scenes of everyday city life. "The collection is both passionate and cynical, with a razor-sharp wit." --Annabel Crerar, LOOP
