Description
This debut collection of poetry explores the threads and gaps in family and national story—both oral and archival—to connect multiple generations of migration, separation, adoption, secrecy, and reunion.
The poems connect seemingly distant times and places—from slave plantations in North America, to the rookeries of London, a bend in the Nepean River, and a street corner in The Rocks—and pay homage to other poets communing with 'archival women', including Jeanine Leanne, Natalie Harkin, Elfie Shiosaki, and M. NourbeSe Philip.
Experience the evocative narratives and poignant connections in as good a woman as ever broke bread by Alex McInnis.
