Produktinformationen zu „Now and Then (ePub)“

'Now and Then is Jo Van Kool's first collection of poems. The first part, Now, concerns her search for a sense of belonging as in the poem 'A Breakfast Jam', I reach for raspberry jam / and feel the past in my hand. This book delights, disturbs and dismays with the turn of every page. From nature, as in the poem 'Life of a Raindrop' - 'and searched for words to recreate / that moment when translucence / held my life' - to Jo's voice with a rich sense of justice for those on the edge of our society, the anawin, who struggle to belong. In between, we experience awe at the innocence of whales and yet return to the pain of being on the edge with Jo's experience of her visit to Wybalenna on Flinders Island, where she hears the birds haunting cry for those despairing for their homeland. In the second part, Then, we find a poet who uses words to speak with a broader cultural lens. 'Memories of a Migrant 1956' charts her exploration to find a place to call home. Jo's poetry is sharply focused on recreating the actual journey of leaving her homeland to arrive in an alien country - Queensland in the late 1950s. The writing is provocative, sensual, sometimes uncomfortable but always honest. Overall, Jo's poetry is sensitive, thoughtful and real. It leaves a memorable trail to ponder.' - Colleen Keating. poet

Autoren-Porträt von Joanna van Kool

Joanna (van Kool) trained first at The Royal Central School for Drama in London. On graduation she came to Australia and worked free-lance for the ABC Education and Drama Departments in Queensland and taught Drama at both Primary and Secondary levels before teaching English, History and Drama for over twenty years at various Secondary Schools in both Queensland and New South Wales. She gained her Masters in Creative Writing at Sydney University where she was lucky enough to have the late Dr Noel Rowe as her tutor in poetry. In 2014 she self- published an historical novel 'The Followers' about three generations of women in her family and she has recently completed another novel inspired by her environmental concerns. While she has always written in one form or another she finds poetry gives her both a challenge and satisfaction in its necessity for the most careful choice of words.
