Mapless in Underland - Melinda Smith

Mapless in Underland brings more of Melinda Smith's fresh, surprising poems, deliberately accessible yet intensely thought-provoking. Praise for the poem 'Bride and Best Man discuss arrangements', published in this collection: 'Melinda Smith captures the danger and desire of an illicit relationship "with sidelong ripple-whispers and the light but tidal tug of Truth or Dare". Dream world, real world...the poem's rhymes flow from line to line as seamlessly as wavelets on a sandy shore.' - Susan Steggall, Introduction to Sharing a Landscape: 
a celebration of difference (Society of Women Writers NSW, Inc.) Praise for her previous collection Pushing thirty, wearing seventeen: 'Pushing thirty, wearing seventeen created a deep reflective space in me that I was reluctant to fill with words... [T]his fascinating anthology simultaneously stimulates stillness and a quality of unsettled friction.' - Liz Darville, Voice
