Intimately voiced and bursting with insight and stunning energy, The Fading Garden is a new collection of poetry by contemporary Australian poet Maria Papageorgiou-Foroudi. The poems bend the borders of the modern Australian home and suburb to explore the lure of escape, the weight of circumstance and the longing for home. Love, cultural inheritance, family, betrayal, the environment, treatment of Australia's indigenous people and death are viewed through a lens that is cynical as it is sympathetic.
