Segue to wide-eyed in the city, to wild eyed, in a\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ecity never imagined.'\u003c\/i\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eShe Goes to Town\u003c\/i\u003e Sandra Renew writes as a lesbian poet. She shows a gendered world from the point of view of outsider and one who lives on the fringes of heterosexuality, and who fully inhabits a voice of dissent and protest. She deep-dives into gender and comments on living in both urban and rural communities.\u003ci\u003eShe Goes to Town\u003c\/i\u003e explores the tensions between leaving and staying, crossing lines, endings and beginnings. In poetry, micro-lit, short prose there is a mapping of the path to destruction and the saving graces of hope and trying again.
