Description

Fiona Capp first met Judith Wright when she came to speak at Fiona's school speech night. From that early meeting, Wright's poetry became a continuous source of inspiration to Fiona and they started a lifelong correspondence that only ended with Judith's death. In this lyrical and beautiful memoir, Fiona Capp sets herself on a quest to discover more about Judith Wright and the landscape that inspired her.
