Called to Coddiwomple
A memoir in poetry and prose
Ginninderra Press · 2023 · Paperback · 84 pages · ISBN 9781761095528
Called to Coddiwomple follows Colleen through memories of family and country South Australia to the beginning of her nomadic life in her campervan, Trevor.
It moves between memory and the present tense of travel: family, country childhoods, ageing, change, self-discovery, and the particular clarity that arrives when you have sold most of what you own and pointed the van at the horizon.
It is, in the end, a book about coming of age at every age — and about learning to write the truest version of a thing rather than the tidiest one.
