Böcker av Wendy Wright

'Our first weeks living in Malta were a shock. We arrived in high summer in 1970 and, from the air, the island looked like a patch of charred earth - not what we imagined a Mediterranean island to be. As Malta is only 60 miles from Libya, it felt as if we'd landed in North Africa. Everything was an assault on the senses. It was a totally new experience for me, but a time when I could think and absorb this new world. I breathed in what Lawrence Durrell (I was a big fan) called the "spirit of place" and of course I had time to write.'Wendy's early stories reflect that mood, not only of Malta but in other countries too. Later, as her writing developed, the narrative became more character driven and branched out into different styles and played about with plot and dialogue and of course, what she calls her 'fluffy' stories.This collection reflects these changes of over many years and aims for an eclectic mix for any reader to find something they enjoy.

Tessa is nine-years-old when a humiliating experience forever alters her naive perception of the society in which she lives. Nathan is twelve-years-old, dark haired and inscrutable. To Tessa, he is a dead-pan, distant ghost flitting into view and then dissolving in a blink... but an odd conversation with him changes it all.

This book examines the processes for the inclusion of women, and the role of women employees in Nepal's forestry bureaucracy.

"Not all of the poems in this book are directly about dance, but they have all been influenced by my deepest inner sense of the rhythm, pattern and movement in life, with its constant changes and surprises. All of life is moving and our relationship to all living things on earth is how we sense eternity." Inspired by her teachers and the people she happened to meet, including people like dancer Ivor Meggido and publisher Brenda Walker, dancer, teacher, actor and writer Wendy Wright has been writing poetry for many years. This is a selection of her enlightening work centred on her life and meditations on all facets of that life.
