Nandi Chinna

Swamp (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For the last four years Nandi Chinna has walked the wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain-and the paths and streets where the wetlands once were-uncovering the lost places that exist beneath the townscape of Perth. She writes with poignancy and beauty of our inability to return, and the ways in which we can use the dual practice of writing and walking to reclaim what we have lost. Her poems speak with urgency about wetlands that are under threat from development today.
