Miss Dust
Author(s): Johanna Aitchison
This playful and twisty two-part harmony begins with the Miss Dust sequence, featuring the eponymous protagonist: mother, child, teacher, cheater, lover, liver, dreamer and enthusiastic coffee drinker. It concludes with more wide-ranging poems with the same mixture of the bleak and funny, and Aitchison’s trademark inventive and frequently surreal use of language.
Miss Dust is an exciting development in the work of an original poetic voice.
