Not Quite Tasmanian

Demelza

Not Quite Tasmanian is a collection of poems that takes us on an accidental journey through life. It is an observation of people and places - of food and thoughts and inevitable events such as birth, death and education.

The poet never professes to get it right but discovers with reflection, sadness and a great deal of humour, how to cope, or not, with everyday tasks.

It began as random scraps of paper, pressed like scattered leaves into a shoe box ...

Once the box was open, the poems gathered themselves into the author's life story ...

It's not quite the whole story but it's well worth reading out loud.
