The poems in Lia Hills' first collection journey from 'artesian memories' of the Australian desert to the 'shifting territory of the gods' in rural Pakistan, as they glide with a wing shift between love, language and faith. "This is a rich and rewarding book." --Robert Adamson "There is something special about Lia Hills' poetry, something ineffable that takes flight 'out of the humus of emergent things'"--Greg Delanty
