Too Much Happens

by
Liz Winfield
80pp
ISBN: 0 9581960 1 X
RRP $19.00

The long-awaited first volume of poems by this well-known Tasmanian literary identity, Too Much Happens contains many poems which are familiar to audiences at poetry readings in Tasmania, from the marvellously seductive 'Honey' to the grim humour of 'Being Poor'. What will surprise those who are not yet familiar with Liz Winfield's work is the enormous range of subject matter and of emotional and poetic responses to it that she displays.

"Even her darkest poetry glows with a gracious optimism and a depth of spirit that embraces all. Tense with irony and, at times, excruciatingly disarming, Liz Winfield's poems are so intimate, you can almost feel her breath as you turn the page." - Philomena van Rijswijk.
