Sand Dancer and other Poems


Book Description

"Not all of the poems in this book are directly about dance, but they have all been influenced by my deepest inner sense of the rhythm, pattern and movement in life, with its constant changes and surprises. All of life is moving and our relationship to all living things on earth is how we sense eternity." Inspired by her teachers and the people she happened to meet, including people like dancer Ivor Meggido and publisher Brenda Walker, dancer, teacher, actor and writer Wendy Wright has been writing poetry for many years. This is a selection of her enlightening work centred on her life and meditations on all facets of that life.
