jeanne bernhardt • silver city & two more • signed • limited edition
New Zealand shapes some rare creatures. Its isolation even between towns nurtures the individual. Jeanne Bernhardt’s writing builds depth via an unknowing muse, herself. Often life on the streets, of the loner is more often than not told with a male perspective. Here, we witness an unquenchable path, experiencing all the odd and less comforting realms of life that have powdered her thoughts. With this chapbook, Ms Bernhardt's stories are published in the UK for the first time. Expect more of her work via Tangerine in the near future.
