Fish Rings On Water

The poems of this Australian poet range from personal introspections to explorations of public issues: racism, war, the environment, the place of women - highly visual poems rooted in the everyday. Sensuous and elegant, tough but celebratory, Gallagher's poetry sings with immediacy. "I recommend this collection for its perceptiveness, delicacy and warmth" - Orbis. "A strong sense of place, most vividly, that of her native Australia" - New Welsh Review.
