Vanessa Page’s poems are mesmerising: intensely felt, wide-ranging in their narratives, and vividly crafted.
I am in awe of her ability to capture both pain and tenderness in language that is cinematically brilliant. Her illuminations
of Australian life and landscape – from historical to contemporary – shine with a searing honesty and beauty. Tourniquet is
an impressive, haunting collection.
