Description

The larger-than-life characters and stories that tumble out of Come One Thing Another assert the experiences of generations of Lavenders and Roys as a kind of rural epic, transposing ordinary occurrences into the ageless framework of myth and its preoccupation with metamorphosis–with shifting identities and values and the persistent transformations of people and places. Colloquial, humourous, exuberant, shot through with reverie, these poems are carefully-crafted oratory, love songs for a vibrant heritage.
