Stick, Hook, and a Pile of Yarn by Mervyn Seivwright Children's Poetry Blandiana in her love poetry

Blandiana in her love poetry continues to explore the mystery of articulating the language of the inexpressible

animals and human civilisation

This is intelligent

finely attuned to the sonics that fascinate and motivate the writing 'at the lower end of sound'

Stick, Hook, and a Pile of Yarn by Mervyn Seivwright Children's Poetry Blandiana in her love poetryStick, Hook, and a Pile of Yarn is a collection of poems centred around a coming of age nomad story that was conceived and weaved into place far from the speakers family and the world he has previously known. Mervyn Seivwright shares his seasons of growth into adolescence navigating his new country and blended family from England to America in the 1980s, deftly presenting a tapestry of poems and scenes into a single narrative, and a rich journey.
