Description
Stretchmarks of Sun is informed by the crossing of borders—geographical, historical, formal and subjective. It explores autobiographical fragments drawing on the protagonist’s experience of dislocation and reconnection. It is poetry that draws together strands plucked from different disciplines, ways of knowing and art forms to reveal how home is made out of love and language.
Praise
‘Stretchmarks of Sun probes the rhetoric of chance invoked as a symbolic structure. Violent, active, disturbing.’ -- Michael Farrell
