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.

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.
