Critics Review
‘This, Miriel Lenore’s final collection of poetry, offers so much - exploring many facets of human experience with empathy, forthrightness and sensitivity. Here is a poet who is irrepressibly open to life - there is a sense of flow and ease, immediacy and vividness, as she engages with people and situations, and with the natural world, with a care and attentiveness which is a form of love. These poems vibrantly affirm core human values while - every so often - inviting in radical new understandings, opening doors to the unknown.’- DIANE FAHEY ‘… a wry and irreverent sense of humour, a delight in odd twists and juxtapositions, and a gift for finding common ground with others.’- MARGARET MERRILEES
Miriel Lenore
Miriel Lenore (1928-2024) spent her life exploring questions of ecology and place. From her early work as a botanist, to her time at an agricultural school in Fiji, and her fascination with Australian rock art, Miriel’s work was deeply rooted in her experiences. Her poetry also reflects her perspectives as a feminist, mother, grandmother, and a pioneer. Miriel explored the complex questions of the white settler story: where is home and how do we live here?
