[From Douglas Stewart Fine Books, 2017: ‘The painter and poet Miriam Moxham (also known as Miriam Huntley and Miriam Phillips) was one of the most talented women artists working in Sydney in the period between the wars, although she has remained one of the lesser known. This collection of the artist’s poems, accompanied by her own stunning linocut illustrations, is also a triumph of book design, with a style and feel that is quite extraordinary for Australian publishing of the time.’]
