Flood Damages
Winner of the Anne Elder Award
Praise for Flood Damages:
These poetic novenas braid an erotic with a radical syntax, ‘snarled in borders.’ Eunice Andrada’s verse carries us beyond flood, grief, deportation and dictatorship from the visceral oppression of the brown female body into political consciousness. A powerful young voice in Australian poetry.
— Michelle Cahill, author of Letter to Pessoa
These poems are defiant hauntings. ‘Muscle memory’ becomes prayer, pledge, protest—‘the truth of the body’ remade in a new light.
— Merlinda Bobis, author of Fish Hair Woman
