The Long Acre Paddock: Explorations in Narrative Verse

In this poetry memoir, Brooks takes a reflective look into the places and people that influenced her life. The collection includes nuanced memories of her rural childhood and the world around her, slipping seamlessly into the adult years of joy, sorrow and hope. This is a candid view that explores the depths of life in a courageous act of sharing as Brooks relates losing loved ones, Don Quixote crusades and hilarious misadventures. As her son says, 'I don't worry about you, Mum. You get out of as much trouble as you get into.' Like her watercolour art, Brooks has made a dull brown creek into a Monet landscape. This is the secret to her clarity and writing, and one suspects, the secret to a live lived to the full.
