The opening is so stark, and the way the bush becomes witness, mourner, and finally collaborator gives the whole piece a mythic force without losing the human grief at its centre. I especially admired how controlled the prose feels even while the story moves through rage, tenderness, and transformation. It’s brutal, beautiful work.
Thank you very much for this comment! I really appreciate your analysis and thoughts. I’m also glad to hear my work described as brutal and beautiful. It means a great deal
