The Dialectics of Rain
In this, her fifth collection, Karen revisits links between the intensely personal, and the broader social and political worlds. But in this book, there are not only new fields of interest: travel and place (Cuba, France, - south coast NSW); a wry and unflinching look at the generational phases of love; and race, terrorism and refugees. The work also experiments with form, in a series of ekphrastic poems, and a number of longer collage poems which weave poetry and prose together. Published by Gininnderra Press in 2019.
