Susan Austin

Susan Austin's third collection of award-winning poetry shines with compassion, illuminating connections between ourselves, each other and the environment."Austin's sure contemporary voice carries us with power and immediacy into experiences of parenthood, relationship, nature, and the stories of many. Poetic drama in the best sense, cutting to the bone of matters, often taking our breath away."Esther Ottaway, Tasmanian Literary Awards winner"Here's a collection to relish. Images fresh as lime zest on your tongue. Words that zing with wit. Deft and delicious. Delighting all your senses. Sure to spark conversations various and piquant."Dr Gina Mercer

'This is a moving, involving account of a woman's fertility quest, and an inventive, carefully structured verse novel. The reader is drawn in to an emotional and physical ordeal across years of trying, miscarriage, and ultimately the gruelling IVF process. It voices an experience not often represented so thoroughly in literature - a lonely journey made more challenging by taboos, ignorance and prejudices.' Melinda Smith

Meet the brilliant, fearless, and ambitious Julia Morgan. In 1883, eleven-year-old Julia visits the amazing new Brooklyn Bridge—an experience that ignites within her a small but persistent flame. Someday, she decides, she too will build an astounding structure. Growing up in horse-and-buggy Oakland, Julia enjoys daring fence walks, climbing the tallest trees, and constantly testing her mother’s patience with her lack of interest in domestic duties and social events. At a time when “brainy” girls are the object of ridicule, Julia excels in school and consistently outsmarts her ornery brothers—but she has an even greater battle ahead. When she enrolls at university to study engineering, the male students taunt her, and the professors belittle her. Through it all, however, Julia holds on to her dream of becoming an architect. She faces each challenge head-on, firmly standing up to those who believe a woman’s place is in the home. Fortunately, the world has yet to meet anyone like the indomitable Miss Morgan. Drawing Outside the Lines is an imagined childhood of pioneering architect Julia Morgan, who left behind her an extraordinary legacy of creativity, beauty, and engineering marvels.
