Sister Veronica Brody, speaking of the need for love, said: ‘But we will have room for it perhaps when we are able to walk around inside ourselves, having found a language of the self and learned to live with our mistakes and to forgive ourselves and one another. Poetic language makes this possible and it may open out a different kind of political landscape.’

Pomegranates is Erica Jolly’s contribution to that landscape.

Erica Jolly has been writing poems for over thirty years, many of which have been published in newspapers, journals and anthologies, including Friendly Street collections. She has a keen sense of social justice, and many of her poems address contemporary social concerns, such as economic and political equity, women’s issues and Indigenous rights. This is her first collection of poetry.
