"I AM CONSCIOUS OF WHERE I COME FROM AND THE SADNESS THAT GROWS INSIDE OF ME. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS AND WHAT IT MAKES ME."
In a Western Sydney suburb that no longer exists, its name erased and replaced with another, a facade is created to mask the truth of its existence.
Behind it is...
a girl who runs
a young woman dreaming beyond her uniform
a boy cycling through his family line
a girl who yearns for metamorphosis
a young man playing with polarities
a father who has lost himself
a young man decaying under the summer sun
a man's apology
a woman who longs to be seen
When the viciousness of hope is a powerful drug, the inescapability of hopelessness is even more devastating.
MOUNT PLEASANT is a chapbook of ten stories inspired by the music of Solkyri.
