Poetry

How do we describe a place? Annamaria Weldon offers an intimate portrait of the chain of lakes that includes Lake Yalgorup, between Mandurah and Bunbury on Australia's south-west coast. The Lake's Apprentice contains a suite of poems, with celebrated essays, and photographs and nature notes cognisant of current environmental research. This elegant testimony collapses time, evoking the long past of Bindjareb Noongar land use, and thinking through to a resilient future.
