1 1 y separately published work icon Bridge of Words Therese Corfiatis , Britta Stenberg , Port Adelaide : Ginninderra Press , 2022 24896147 2022 selected work poetry 'Two women. Two poets. Two countries. One man. Therese Corfiatis lives in Ulverstone, Tasmania; Britta Stenberg lives in Renjorn, Sweden - two women joined in friendship by Tom Langston, who introduced them to each other long distance, during a trip to Sweden. This collaboration is a tribute to his memory. This evocative collection written over the course of a year, from opposite ends of the earth, holds a fervent hope for readers to discover a moment caught in time.' (Publication summary)

'Thérèse Corfiatis seeks out beauty and spirit in simple things: the curl of a wave, the flight of cockatoos ‘yellow-flecked tails flashing / like airborne sunflowers’ (‘Black Cockatoos’). She searches for ancestral homeland and belonging - ‘my dispossession torn away / a birthing wound healed up’ (‘The Bridge at Csíkrákos’) - and presents them to the reader with wonder, honesty and freshness.  ' (Publication summary)

'The poems selected in this book - taken from Thérèse Corfiatis’s four published books, and a Pocket Poet - convey striking images of landscape, childhood, travel and place.

This book resonates with a multitude of richness gathered over the years, and offers the reader insights into fundamental values reflecting our world.' (Publication summary)
