Plague Animals

Exploring the depths of physical and mental trauma, this collection captures the complexities of relationships, particularly the author's bond with her eldest daughter. Each poem serves as an act of salvage, highlighting the overlooked and voiceless. Vivid imagery includes an artist's discarded pots in the Brisbane River and dementia patients plotting an escape. The work challenges conventional perceptions of beauty and significance, inviting readers to reconsider what it means to be human and to navigate the discomfort of existence.
