Description

This book of poems is based on Karen Knight's experiences as a patient in the Royal Derwent Hospital at the age of 19. LINC Tasmania describes her writing as: 'insistent, vivid and brutal in its objective description of a devastating experience. Most striking in this compelling collection is Knight's unique gift for imagery that feels both surreal and intensely actual'.
