Aquamarine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781761095245)

My love for the water of the sea, of river, bay and ocean, from childhood to now, its call is strong and I yearn to be close to the flow of tides. In Aquamarine, include poems on the tragedy of refugees who came to us by boat seeking refuge. There are poems about convicts and slaves, floods and climate change. It is a collection drawing on my wonder at the mystery of the deep, of myth and folklore and how, from our first cluster of cells, the ocean has shaped the human race. It is also a collection about my relationship with the shoreline, the healing, both physical and spiritual that water offers us.
