1 y separately published work icon Renovating Madness Renovating madness : Poems of Willow Court and the Royal Derwent Hospital, New Norfolk, Tasmania Karen Knight , Liz McQuilkin , Hobart : Walleah Press , 2018 16088982 2018 selected work poetry 'The history of the treatment of mental illness is a story of neglect and ignorance, resilience and rebellion, and, in the nineteenth and much of the twentieth century, outright cruelty. There is much to be learnt from that history. This poignant and provocative collection is a maverick biography of an institution established in New Norfolk in Tasmania in 1827, finally closing in 2001. The poems, narratives, reflections, records past and present collude to create powerful reminders of forgotten or forsaken lives and the impetus to treat mental illness with compassion and open-mindedness.'
