Dorothy Hewett is one of Australia's most accaimed and important playwrights and poets. This is her sixth book of poetry, her first major work in five years.
'A romantic quest for the intrinsic but elusive self lies at the heart of Hewett's poetry and drama. It determines the emotional range and impact of her work, its vigour and frankness. Many of Hewett's dramatic themes, incidents and images are present in her poetry... her verse is confessional and romantic in theme, wryly humorous, frankly bawdy, varied in tone and rich in imagery.'
~ The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature
