Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The title of this poetry narrative - A Wild Kind of Tune - captures perfectly the imaginative journey into the poignant psycho-geography of Miriel Lenore's maternal great-grandmother, Caroline. In a wild tale arcing from 1845 to the present, in poetry underpinned by meticulous research, we inhabit settler society with all its attendant joys, hardship and grief as we careen with Caroline through her journey of love, loss and horror into madness.The use of the actual medical records from late nineteenth century Asylums for the Insane (Gladesville and Kenmore) is chilling in the extreme; the rendering of these facts into a narrative of sensitive family history a partial redemption, a heartfelt honouring, of Caroline's bitter life. Lenore has made an important literary contribution to our understanding of the mistreatment of the mentally ill, especially women, in Australia's history.- Biff Ward, author of In My Mother's Hands The title of this poetry narrative captures the imaginative journey into the poignant psycho-geography of Lenore's maternal great-grandmother. In a wild tale arcing from 1845 to the present, we inhabit settler society with all its joys, hardship and grief as we careen with Caroline through her journey of love, loss and horror into madness.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where, or rather how, does anyone belong?In this book, Miriel Lenore reflects on her life in two places - a Ngaanyatjarra community in the desert where she is a visitor, and her home in Adelaide with family and friends. To these people and places, she brings a sharp eye, her political and historical lenses and wry humour to create deceptively simple poems with many layered meanings. In her poems, the land always carries its complex and particular history, as she interweaves her reponses to the natural world with the deliberate relationships between people and the continuing effects of the past.Miriel Lenore's spare, taut style, with its subtle voice rhythms, carries the strength and precariousness of someone who asks how she may begin to belong in the desert as her feet tell her she does in Adelaide.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Drums and Bonnets, we follow Miriel Lenore's search for clues to the life of her great-grandmother, Lizzie, on a poetic pilgrimage that moves from the troubles of Northern Ireland to the goldfields of Ballarat. She brings back tales from the past, interwoven with fresh and incisive evocations of people, places and dramatic situations.These lucid and sensitive poems probe history and myth, leaving and arriving, public and private, home, religion and gold - all in the life of one unknown woman.'Here, Miriel Lenore builds on the unadorned but graceful eloquence and narrative strength that inform her earlier collections, travelling alone together and sun wind and diesel. She brings warmth, openness and clarity of vision to her engagement with lives past and present, spins stories, establishes - against the odds - a sense of connectedness and continuity.' - Diane FaheyMiriel Lenore was born in Boort, Victoria, and was educated there and in Bendigo and Melbourne. Miriel began writing poetry in 1984. Her recent interests include Rock Art, Botanic Gardens and the exploration of the lives of several women in her family's history.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Welcome to the Victorian town of Boort, where poet Miriel Lenore spent her childhood. With characteristic humour and compassion, Lenore has created a series of vivid and moving portraits of Australian rural life in the 1930s. As a child, and as a returning adult, she observes the weaving together of individual lives, the unravelling that comes with war and tragedy, and the pragmatism and everyday reality of country life. Miriel Lenore's voice is clear, forthright and transparent, and her use of form flexible and persuasive. Welcome to the Victorian town of Boort, where poet Miriel Lenore spent her childhood.
