Too structured to fall into the category of grunge poetry; low on literary worth, but high on story telling. I call my poetry, âGippsland Shabby Chic Verseâ. Itâs raw, uncomplicated, tells a story in simple language that is easy to read. And most of it rhymes! Hopefully, my poems will take my reader on an emotional journey to experience what makes beautiful Lakes Entrance and East Gippsland unique amongst places. This is a book of collected poems of time and place, compiled in the season of the coronavirus 2020, during lockdown. âYou can take the girl out of Lakes Entrance, but you canât take Lakes Entrance out of the girl.â
