'It’s extraordinary to think how swiftly our lives have been upended by coronavirus. Rewind the calendar a few months and we were spending our Saturday mornings having breakfast at cafes, or turning up for our favourite gym class or boot camp, or going to the beach with friends or to the shops for a wander, or any other number of social gatherings that make the weekend feel like a respite.'
'Tricia Dearborn is a veteran of Australian literature, with ‘Autobiochemistry’ being her latest long-awaited release. A poetry anthology collection broken into five sections, we move through events in Dearborn’s life as though she sits gently close by and guides us through memories, relationshipsand moments of both pain and triumph. No stranger to detail or frighteningly honest expressions, Dearborn provides us with highly personal, intricate pieces that flow tremendously well. This air of cohesiveness and passage remains intact between each respective section, including a minor segment inspired by (and featuring) the works of Virginia Woolf. Combining the realms of both science and art has curated a work that taps into the intimacies of life, at times being metaphoric and others extremely literal.' (Introduction)
