Threading Raindrops

'In Threading Raindrops, Michele Fermanis-Winward has fashioned an associative landscape full of the conflicts of the human heart and mind. The reader is buoyed by the honesty and integrity, the gentle ruefulness of this poet's generous observations. The necklace is a perfect symbol for this collection of clear and lovely poems - the thread on which they're strung a continuum of the poet's deep noticing, of bush, garden, ocean, family, drawn inward into deep reverence.' - Deb Westbury
