Following the success of drums and bonnets, Miriel Lenore takes us on a new poetic journey to find her great-great-grandmother, Sarah. In the Dog Rock Sarah escapes with husband and children from the rural poverty and riots of the 1830s in Sussex to settle on the western slopes of the Dividing Range in New South Wales.

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.
