Sand

by Robert Drewe and John Kinsella

Renowned novelist and creative non-fiction writer, Robert Drewe teams up with internationally acclaimed poet John Kinsella, to explore a common geography in poetry and prose. The Australian Way Magazine calls it evocative writing' while Bookseller+Publisher calls it excellent summer beach reading'.Sand is quintessentially Australian. It is a property from which many of our stories, assumptions and geographical reckonings are drawn. For Drewe and Kinsella, it evokes the memories both personal and cultural that inspire the writing in this book. Digging into its shifting foundations, the authors use their own lives to explore the importance of sand in the Australian psyche.

Really enjoyed the Robert Drewe stories - lovely snippets that from something and to something else. I couldn’t engage with John Kinsella, though. I will search out more Drewe stories, though.
