Product Description

“Meredith Wattison is one of our most edgy and luminous practitioners. Her poems build towards a contained, steady precision, and her language has an elemental purity that transmutes into flint-like brilliance. Her insights are always thought-provoking and she is a poet who never just swims with the tide or school, but always goes her own sure way. meredith Wattison is an original voice in Australuian poetry. She always delivers pleasure and surprise.  

 — Judith Beveridge

“Meredith Wattison adores the world. Her work is studded with sharply delicious surprises.” 

— Helen Garner
