Roxanne Bodsworth

Roxanne Bodsworth (the proper name of the poet published as ‘Therese’) lives on a sheep farm in North East Victoria, is undertaking her PhD at Victoria University, and working as a celebrant in her spare time. Her verse novel, The Tangled Web, was published in 1989 by Openbook Publishers, and her non-fiction book, Sunwyse – celebrating the Wheel of the Year in Australia, in 2003 by Hihorse. Widely published in a range of genres, writing keeps her sane (almost).

Review Short: Marietta Elliot-Kleerkoper’s A Perfect Distortion

The poems in this collection are provided in the original Dutch with an English translation; two languages and cultures that are intertwined in the poet and in the poetry. The mirroring effect of the parallel texts moves the reader beyond English language egocentricity, providing a continual reminder that language is constructed and understood in a variety of ways.
