Australian poet Nadine Ellis' new book, The Grey Between, shines an emotional spotlight on the challenges of everyday life: focusing on family dynamics, motherhood, imploding relationships, emotional damage, through to death and the wake left behind. Nadine Ellis' poetry is an experience that stirs emotion, thrusting the reader into an examination of human behaviour and suffering. Her work gives insight to the resilience of human beings, reminding us that that while our experiences are individual, that we all seek to make sense of our lives - the pain, trauma, and anxious emotions - as we traverse our journey to find meaning and the best of who are. A radiographer and academic Nadine sees life in shades of grey, giving voice to the shadows, the traces and the sometimes unseen. For three decades she has written poetry as a cathartic release, blending and processing her most intense life experiences - spilling out her internal thoughts - with hope that her words touch others, to let them know they are not alone.
