A book of poems from 1998-2016, compiled for use at the Hawkesbury Literary Festival in April 2016. The poems reflect on relationships within the family, with a friend loved and lost, with humour as well as sensitivity. And on some of the classic Christmas and Easter related stories from a more realistic angle of the women involved, including the Magus’ Wife’s Tale in homage to or criticism of T.S. Eliot’s well known ‘Journey of the Magi’. 3
