There are different voices here, and separations. Cutting away from her past, from varied, acceptable and permissible futures dreamed into expectations by others on her behalf. From always being a dangerous difference in a country town, and rural school. Segue to wide-eyed in the city, to wild eyed, in a city never imagined.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\nIn \u003ci\u003eShe Goes to Town\u003c\/i\u003e, Sandra Renew writes as a lesbian poet. She shows a gendered world from the point of view of an outsider and one who lives on the fringes of heterosexuality, and who fully inhabits a voice of dissent and protest. She deep-dives into gender and comments on living in both urban and rural communities.\n\n\u003ci\u003eShe Goes to Town\u003c\/i\u003e explores the tensions between leaving and staying, crossing lines, endings and beginnings. In poetry, micro-lit, and short prose, there is a mapping of the path to destruction and the saving graces of hope and trying again.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082520183020,"sku":"9780645920987","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26655443482417.jpg?v=1765275248"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/sandra-renew.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
