Poetry

Showcasing a unique voice of Australian poetry, this moody unraveling of prose is an evocative exploration of spirituality and the afterlife. At the bottom of an abandoned well, a woman murdered and dumped there by corrupt police dreams the voices of people who have died but do not yet know it. Deep underground, she is silent witness and narrator of their earth poems--as she drifts in artesian streams towards the coast. One by one the newly dead replace each other in her imagination.
