‘She separates herself. There are different voices here, and
separations. Cutting away
from her past, from varied, acceptable and permissible futures
dreamed into expectations by others on her behalf. From
always being a dangerous difference in a country town, and
rural school. Segue to wide-eyed in the city, to wild eyed, in a
city never imagined.’
In She Goes to Town Sandra Renew writes as a lesbian poet. She shows a gendered world from the point of view of outsider and one who lives on the fringes of heterosexuality, and who fully inhabits a voice of dissent and protest. She deep-dives into gender and comments on living in both urban and rural communities.
She Goes to Town explores the tensions between leaving and staying, crossing lines, endings and beginnings. In poetry, micro-lit, short prose there is a mapping of the path to destruction and the saving graces of hope and trying again.
