Produktbeschreibung

This collection of poems is a homage to my grandfather, Demetrius (Jim) Fermanis and the island he called home but never returned to. I cannot vouch for all these stories. Some are a confection made of fragments I was told as a child, part of our family lore, some are my own imagining. There are impressions from my visit to the island in 2012 as I went in search of the culture my grandfather revered.

My home is on a ridge close to the summit of theBlue Mountains of New South Wales. Here lichen cloaks thetrees and winters are still fierce. In summer, bushfires threatenour homes and deadly snakes patrol our gardens. This is richmaterial to create poetry from. I aspire to defend the naturalenvironment and promote social justice through my writing. Ihave lived as a visual artist and wordsmith.My poetry has been published widely in internationalanthologies and journals. I am a Varuna Alumnus and haveseven full collections under my name.
