Poetry by individual poets : Natural history |
| In her third collection of poetry, Heather Taylor Johnson celebrates the liminal spaces between two cultures - the neither here nor there, the neither in nor out. It is indeed a world where 'Home is a relative term'. Thirsting for Lemonade is an affirmation of the migrant's acceptance of never-quite-belonging, and still it is her attempt to forge new paths in foreign, and remembered, territory, where past is always present. These poems recall the many things which get us home - photographs, a common cereal, a record album, a fooseball table. This latest collection is a celebration of 'the things that are especially good / because they cannot last.' Heather Taylor Johnson is the author of two books of poetry: Exit Wounds (2007) and Letters to my Lover from a Small Mountain Town (2012). She was a poetry editor for Wet Ink magazine from 2005-2012 and is currently the poetry editor for Transnational Literature. She has a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Adelaide and tutors in Creative Writing at Flinders University. She is an ex-pat hailing from all over the US, now ecstatically relocated near the Port in Adelaide. She lives with her partner Dash, their three young children - Guthrow, Sunny and Matilda - and their spunky dog Tom. Her first novel, Pursuing Love and Death, will be published by HarperCollins in 2013. |
