Sobre IBD

Australian poet Brendan Ryan speaks about his life in this memoir of 'the child, the youth and the young man finding his footing amidst the mysteries of cows and the ruthless cycles of the farm, the dry-eyed melancholy of the milking-shed and the mercy of the weather. Here also are the puzzles of existence contained in parents and siblings, in small things and small talk, and the revelations of the school bus and the school. This is a classic memoir: Brendan Ryan’s words come at us directly, and often with startling intensity, from indelible experience. And we feel his need to return.' (Don Watson, 2020)
