These poems go into history, and to sacred places both mythic and personal. This is Dorothy Porter’s seventh collection of poetry, completed just before her death in December 2008. She was known for her passionate, sensual and edgy poetry, and was one of Australia's truly original writers. She was twice short-listed for Australia's premier literary award, the Miles Franklin, and her verse novel 'The Monkey's Mask' is a modern Australian classic. .
