My Tongue is My Own - A Life of Gwen Harwood
My Tongue is My Own - A Life of Gwen Harwood
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09HWV1ZHG | 690 pages | EPUB / MOBI | 5.4 MB
The first biography of Gwen Harwood (1920–1995), one of Australia’s most significant and distinctive poets.
Harwood is renowned for her brilliance, but loved for her humour, rebellion and mischief. A public figure by the end of her life, she was always deeply protective of her privacy, and even now, some twenty-six years after her death, little is known of the experiences that gave rise to her extraordinary poems. This book follows Harwood from her childhood in 1920s Brisbane to her final years in Hobart in the 1990s. It traces how a lively, sardonic and determined young woman built a career in the conservative 1950s, blasting her way into the patriarchal strongholds of Australian poetry.
