Stitching Things Together

Highly Commended, IP Picks Best Poetry, 2010
This collection travels well, from the author's engagement with science as a medical practitioner to her appreciation of and penetration into the issues facing contemporary Jews and the State of Israel and the experiences faced by migrants to Australia.
It is a poetry of risk but also one of transcendance over the challenges facing people in an increasingly dangerous and unpoetic world.
