Celebrate the human existence with extrano, a defiantly hopeful collection of adult poetry offering lifelines of creativity and compassion for those of us whove taken more than our unfair share of beatings. Includes a Foreword by poet Genevieve L. Walsh. Like the sting and throb of a new tattoo these are painful and beautiful poems, worn on the sleeve and inked with care and precision. Unwrap their clingfilm, they will speak to the sunshine of rain. Tony Walsh AKA Longfella, poet & educator The love for people observed or well-known in their own complicated existences shines. Women in this collection have inner lives more vast and important than their outer appearance. Anna Percy, founder of Stirred Feminist Collective
