Feature
Alone
Beverley Farmer, one of Australia’s great prose stylists, and a pioneer of women’s writing, in her exploration of feminine concerns, and her use of different literary forms – novel, short story, poetry, essay, journal, myth and fairy tale.
This is a splendid story (This Water - A Ring of Gold), lightly touched by the world of myths and legends. It is illuminated by Farmer's masterly control of structure, tone and imagery.
