Dew and Broken Glass - Paperback

by Penny Drysdale (Author)

Set in the heart of Australia, Penny Drysdale's debut collection breaks open the prison of self to lay bare the many contradictions in contemporary Australian relationships. Love, injustice and 'unbelonging' weave their way through this torrid landscape like ancient creatures on a grand scale. A credit card, a mouse trap, a discarded car battery, a pile of children's clothing all become an opportunity to examine in harsh Australian light aspects of ourselves we usually confine to the dark.
