Description

Wootton addresses subjects as various as the fraught relationship between medical institutions and individual suffering, the disintegration of the polar icecaps, the energizing power of solitude and the rewarding demands of creativity and love. This is a collection about give and take, loss and gain; about sowing, tending and reaping. Sue Wootton brings her characteristic linguistic dexterity, exuberance and versatility to every page. The Yield is rich harvest.

Awards

Reviews

"Wootton makes the words shimmy with fresh metaphors, the unspoken, the sound of the everyday." Paula Green, NZ Books Autumn 2009
