Firebird Baltic Blue

Being denied access to a place by necessity you invent it. In these poems, the author explores cultural identity and loss as the daughter of an Estonian dislocated from his family and country by post-war turmoil. Based on fractured truths, fairy tales and longings, this collection is a personal mosaic of a land and her place in it. Helga Jermy's poems have appeared in various literary journals and anthologies. Her work has been shortlisted for the Overland Judith Wright Poetry Prize for New and Emerging Poets 2015 and long-listed for the UK National Poetry Prize 2016. She was born in the UK and now lives on Tasmania's north-west coast.
