This latest book by award-winning poet Jill Jones raises questions of the self, as well as the ecology of place and language. This is Jones at her most versatile and idiosyncratic, at times a little wild and dark. The poems are intimate, sharp, self-critical and very present.
Dark Bright Doors was shortlisted for the Kenneth Slessor Prize in the 2011 NSW Premier's Literary Awards.
