A Song to KeepThese poems reflect a journey from a past delineated by racism, trauma and violence towards a present life of peace and intense natural beauty. Permeated with nostalgia and loss; songs of an immigrant community alienated in their own land, but pierced with fierce hope, faith in redemption, and a determination that we should all belong.

without forgetting the heartbeat of his predecessors

and a remarkable series of letters in verse to Pablo Neruda

Visitors include: Aphrodite whose house is above the shore and her family from Athens

both for the child and the adoptive parents

the unresolved history of the Second

Her previous books are Kung Fu Lullabies (2004) and Cure for a Crooked Smile (2009)

A one-of-a-kind exploration of abasement

We know it’s going to be good

This volume of MPT gives a voice to the unheard and creates living connections across frontiers

but unafraid to bring in darker themes and worlds unseen

combining prose and poetry in an experimental work of verse fiction
