Description 93 pages ; 23 cm regular print Series Puncher & Wattmann poetry Puncher and Wattmann poetry Summary At the bottom of an abandoned well, a woman murdered and dumped there by corrupt police dreams the voices of the people that have died but do not yet know it. Deep underground, she is the silent witness and narrator of their earth poems - as she drifts in artesian streams towards the coast. The 'Well Mouth' is a work of powerful immersion in empathy and unexpectedness, and is both lyrical and sardonic, humorous and bare Analysis Australian Notes Originally published in 2005 by Fremantle Arts Centre Press Subject Australian poetry -- 21st century.
