1 1 y separately published work icon Chasing Marie Antoinette All Over Paris Adrienne Eberhard , Fitzroy North : Black Pepper , 2020 20915464 2020 selected work poetry
'Adrienne Eberhard’s new collection Chasing Marie Antoinette all Over Paris forges connections between past and present, public and private, and human and non-human, exploring what it means to be truly at home in the world, whether her beloved Tasmania, France or Indonesia. Ranging in subject matter from native grasses, ducklings and footy games, to cave paintings, family and 9000 years-deep ancestry, she draws on personal, as well as cultural, history to investigate possibility, love and loss. With their focus on the small and the precious, these poems draw our attention to what is often overlooked, enabling us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

'She demonstrates how well she can move from sensual evocation of place to tenderness and love of the human. This is a book whose language, because of its precision and sensuality, does justice to a wide range of experiences. Eberhard’s poems seem expounded wholly from both body and spirit.

1 5 y separately published work icon This Woman Adrienne Eberhard , Fitzroy North : Black Pepper , 2011 Z1809564 2011 selected work poetry 'In This Woman Adrienne Eberhard's themes of gardens and nature, fecundity, random illness and cycles of renewal, explore the vital connections that develop between people and place. Ranging from the D'Entrecasteaux Channel to Canton, Papua New Guinea and Kew and from the eighteenth century to the present, these poems investigate ways in which physical places create mental and emotional spaces fundamental to human needs. Poems about motherhood and children; birds and animals; Aboriginal hand stencils, and love poems that draw connections between geography and the human body, give us an intimate view of our earthly presence. The title poem adds a plangency and raw tenderness to work which reminds us of what it means to be human, and in particular, a woman.hen Adrienne Eberhard assumes the persona of Jane, Lady Franklin, wife of the colonial Governor Sir John Franklin, she releases herself as a poet of intimate engagements. In a suite of poems, linked together like a chain of ponds, she follows Jane Franklin's Tasmanian years. Water, rocks, fossils, step daughters, desire or guilt and betrayal, and love of the physical world seethe in her lines.' Source: http://blackpepperpublishing.com/ Sighted 03/05/2012).
