Idle Fragments

Discover Donna Edwards' Poetry

Though diminished in its composition, sometimes we are just able to glimpse through the chaos of living. To grasp snippets of meaning or fragments of understanding. Across a spectrum from mundane to exhilarating, it's out there waiting for our idleness or perhaps passion, so that we might observe and take note. For many, it becomes a novel or music or journalism or social media. For Donna Edwards it manifests as poetry. This wide-ranging selection includes Donna’s first childhood verse ‘Four Seasons in Adelaide’; many personal and simple reflections such as award-winning ‘Strawberries and Poppies’; and an awakening into the realities of a harder world. From carefree to cautionary, these are her words in your hands.
