Miriel Lenore's Books

Welcome to the Victorian town of Boort, where poet Miriel Lenore spent her childhood. With characteristic humour and compassion, Lenore has created a series of vivid and moving portraits of Australian rural life in the 1930s. As a child, and as a returning adult, she observes the weaving together of individual lives, the unravelling that comes with war and tragedy, and the pragmatism and everyday reality of country life. Miriel Lenore's voice is clear, forthright and transparent, and her use of form flexible and persuasive.

Annotation. Two poets explore the rhythms of the natural world.

Adelaide poet Miriel Lenore draws on her skills as storyteller, and delves into myth, lore, science and history to evoke the life of a great garden, the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

Ann Timoney Jenkin uses everyday subjects - from pruning roses to postcards, from grandchildren to graveyards - to show the extraordinary in our ordinary lives.

Poetry which documents the author's search for clues to the life of her great-grandmother Lizzie. The poems explore Lizzie's life, from her origins in Northern Ireland to the Australian goldfields of Ballarat. Examines women's lives past and present, as well as themes of history, biography, the past, and myth.

In this compelling volume, Lenore threads past with present, the social and political with the personal. Tragedy and quiet achievement underscore the complex effects of religion in the life of this first settler at Dog Rock where her family still live and farm.

The title of this poetry narrative - A Wild Kind of Tune - captures perfectly the imaginative journey into the poignant psycho-geography of Miriel Lenore's maternal great-grandmother, Caroline. In a wild tale arcing from 1845 to the present, in poetry underpinned by meticulous research, we inhabit settler society with all its attendant joys, hardship and grief as we careen with Caroline through her journey of love, loss and horror into madness.
