On Fire with Dangerous Cargo
Madeleine Dale
A woman sits down in a flood.
A possum drowns in a water tank.
A wave glows as it breaks.
Through the rich imaginary of water – place of life and death – these poems chart currents of beauty and loss, the sacred and the profane, damage and survival.
The Queensland Poetry Chapbook Series aims to highlight emerging poets creating in Queensland through the publication of limited run chapbooks as well as providing an outlet for work arising from programs associated with Queensland Poetry.
