After
April
Rain
Elizabeth's first poetry collection, 'After April Rain' features 29 poems and 9 illustrations that chart the course of one 'good girl' navigating 'long fields of skin', a 'drugstore temple on an asphalt mount', and 'the weather in my grandmother's living room...before her lungs rattled...not thunder rolling closer, but sunshine mobilising to depart'.
Published by Longship Press, 2021.
'I think girl and hear thunder.'
~ From title poem, 'After April Rain'
