Description
She separates herself. There are different voices here, and separations. Cutting away from her past, from varied, acceptable and permissible futures dreamed into expectations by others on her behalf. From always being a dangerous difference in a country town, and rural school. Segue to wide-eyed in the city, to wild eyed, in a city never imagined.
In She Goes to Town, Sandra Renew writes as a lesbian poet. She shows a gendered world from the point of view of an outsider and one who lives on the fringes of heterosexuality, and who fully inhabits a voice of dissent and protest. She deep-dives into gender and comments on living in both urban and rural communities.
She Goes to Town explores the tensions between leaving and staying, crossing lines, endings and beginnings. In poetry, micro-lit, and short prose, there is a mapping of the path to destruction and the saving graces of hope and trying again.
