The sweetness of dust

By Amanda Hollis Kube

In her debut poetry collection The sweetness of dust, Amanda Kube explores what it feels like to close the book on a five generation Wimmera-Mallee farm. Moving between shifts in time and perspective, Kube draws us into rural life where forebears are never far, 'a glimpse, a shadow, disappearing around the corner' providing solace and admonishment. More tender confessional than outback yarn, Kube's gaze is wide open; embodied and lyrical. The women of this place step forward and tell stories of loneliness, endless chores, and moments of quiet revelation. Original artwork of delicate botanical drawings complement this contemporary voice.
