Meg McNena is a parent, poet and physiotherapist, and her poetry litters journals and Melbourne readings. Three of her plays have been performed, including Yellowing with Women Working in Theatre.
Lean Cuisine and single flannelette sheets to the heaven / of anywhere else. Born for higher things, a fair share / of paradise beyond the pale of suburban confinement.
A mother and son cram the threshold morning / Drone of peak hour tails off four blocks away from kindergarten, a world in miniature.
Poem by Meg McNena
