In her new book, In the Garden, Adelaide poet Miriel Lenore draws on her skills as storyteller, and delves into myth, lore, science and history to evoke the life of a great garden, the Adelaide Botanic Garden. Here are sequoia, arbutus, lotus pond, Palm house and Greek statuary. Lenore brings both a light touch and a deep reflexiveness to each subject, continually opening out fresh prospects. This, the sixth of Lenore's adventurous and accomplished collections, will speak to all those who cherish gardens.

From her days as a botanist, to her years at an agricultural school in Fiji, to her passion for Australian rock art, Miriel Lenore has long been working away at questions of ecology and place. Her poetry is also deeply grounded in her experience as a feminist, mother, grandmother and pioneer of a different sort. Miriel continues to explore the heart-breaking questions of the white settler story: where is home and how do we live here?
Miriel resides in Adelaide.
