Drawn on Water Mel Pryor

Drawn on Water is a beautifully considered collection of poems that encompass the joy, complexities and risks of family life and relationships. The pamphlet explores a range of themes, from pregnancy and birth to parenthood and aging, yet remains firmly rooted in the natural world. The poet addresses our struggle against the instinct to withdraw emotionally from the world in an accessible and essentially hope-affirming style.
