About the author
Dawn Garisch is a doctor who writes, a poet who walks, a researcher who dances. She lives in Cape Town near the mountain and the sea and has two grown sons. Her last novel, Trespass, was nominated for the Commonwealth Prize in Africa.
Review
“There is a balance of emotion and craft in Dawn Garisch’s poetry, a seamless welding of raw experience and selfobservation, of music and thought. She writes the most personal spaces, always lit by her wry, focused understanding.”
Ken Barris
“Ingrid Andersen writes poems for an ‘age of loneliness’. With words of powerful simplicity, this book cuts open the heart and mind of the reader, stitches and sometimes mends. Darting lightly in and out of life’s small and lonely spaces and places, her quiet truths offer respite from the world’s noise.”
