'Humorous, brilliant, sometimes sad, showing the distress and frustration of the unliberated female of her era. Poems about her beautiful, red-soil, lush, sugarcane producing, country hometown of Childers, in central Queensland, Australia, which she loved, and her family of ten siblings, six children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.'
