I also saw those spirit dogs and poetry travelled with me like rivers I
didn't ever eat alone 'Goan Fish Curry' Following on from the success of
her award-winning fiction debut, Heat and Light, Ellen van Neerven
announces herself as a talented poet with this luscious collection.
Moving between places and cultures, Comfort Food explores identity,
sovereignty and the restless quest for love. Using food as her
inspiration, van Neerven offers a cross-cultural vision of the exotic
and the familiar. This sensuous volume sets a new benchmark in
contemporary Australian poetry.
