A kind of memoir or"the kind of autobiography I write when I'm not writing an autobiography' Few of us have surveyed the world, at the age of four, from the bare back of an elephant. For more than four decades as writer, poet, critic and because of her involvement with writers affairs she's worked with listened to and debated with an astonishingly wide range of Australian contemporary writers. The wide eyed enthusiasm of the child has been translated into a lifelong love of Australian writing and a continuing and enthusiastic involvement with writers.
