Podcast Territory FM features a radio interview on Territory FM with Daryl Manzie recorded 14 August 2013 about "The Chameleon and the Cuckoo Clock".
****
The Chameleon and the Cuckoo Clock is a book of hope, wisdom and humour set against a sweeping backdrop of countless cities, campgrounds, Lima’s bustling Peruvian streets, Egyptian tents and bohemian gatherings in Melbourne’s underground music community.
It
is an illustrated poetry anthology created over the course of a decade-long
journey of moving away from home after high school to seek ostensibly greener
pastures. The poems reveal the contradictions and challenges of being a woman
confronting conflicting family and societal pressures, the temptation of
materialism and conformism and the need to stay true to oneself whilst playing
the ever-adaptable chameleon.
