Critical reception

Joan M. Davis, reviewing the collection for LiNQ journal, noted: "Underlining Beveridge's approach is the celebration of domesticity. This poet has the courage of her convictions, which gives a deft touch to her perceptions. Domesticity is of the world seen and recorded now, one element operating in the marketplace and valid as the stuff of poetry...There is much to reward the reader in this first collection: Judith Beveridge is a developing and competent Australian poet."[2]

Publication history

After the initial publication of the collection by Black Lightning Press in 1987,[3] it was reprinted by Picaro Press in 2007.[4]
