Geoff Page has reviewed ‘Line of Drift’ for the Australian and it’s truly lovely, with a light feather across the knuckles! I am particularly happy that he understands the Irish-English in the lines and that he reads an authenticity of dual belonging. He writes :
‘John Foulcher’s imprimatur on the back of Robyn Rowland’s ‘Line of Drift’ correctly describes it as a high-water mark in her writing. Now an Irish-Australian dual citizen, Rowland has at last absorbed the country she’s been visiting for 33 years and can use its material as authentically as any poet living there … irish Interest tweeted: ‘Rowland is now an Irish poet as much as she is an Australian one’.
