Mythica

Sarah Tiffen’s second collection continues to probe the spiritual and social themes revealed in her first book Learning Country: Song Cycles from the Heartland. Stories of her home country in the western plains of New South Wales reveal a powerful response to place and a visceral sense of nostalgia landscape and love. With story-poems nature poems and spiritual explorations this collection will speak to the reader of Australia of a passing way of life of family and history and of the notions of home time and loss and spirituality. Representing a development of the writer’s craft there is much in this volume to compel challenge and uplift as the reader will again take a journey into the heart and share the love of language and of the country in evocative imagery.
