Jenny Morris has a gift for observation translated into fresh and lyrical imagery. In Eye Level she looks beneath the surface of memory with a wistful but never sentimental gaze. Here ‘memory stains your bones’ and we enter a landscape where mortality is never far away, yet there is also hope and resilience here, the ways in which we pass on hope to the generations below us because ‘The story must go on and on.’ Along the way, ancestors are honoured, the places and people who form us are witnessed and new generations are celebrated.
Eye Level is a compassionate and intelligent collection leavened with verbal dexterity and wry humour from a mature and accomplished voice. A delight to read and re-read.
