Tentang eBook ini

Blue Wren is a beautiful and moving body of work from poet Bron Bateman. Using Frida Kahlo as her inspiration, she has crafted a collection of poems that builds on the themes from Of Memory and Furniture, of healing and reclaiming her past. In her new book, Bron experiments with different forms, such as magical realism, prose poetry, and free verse, with many poems addressed to her lover, her sister, her children, and the strong influence that her mother had on her life.
