Domestic Damage

In Domestic Damage, Jenny Morris explores a range of dysfunctional environments, strange relationships and experiences on the margins. Her work is lyrical, her imagery compressed and precise and her observation razor-sharp. The results are intelligent poems that see life sideways, that are not afraid to look into the shadows and the dark, but always with a compassionate gaze. Imaginative and poignant, but never sentimental; unflinching in the face of the gruesome, but never gratuitous, this is poetry that questions and reveals without judging; a mature and accomplished collection.
