Lakes Entrance girl Elsie Johnstone

Too structured to fall into the category of grunge poetry; low on literary worth, but high on story telling. I call my poetry, 'Gippsland Shabby Chic Verse'.

It's raw, uncomplicated, tells a story in simple language that is easy to read. And most of it rhymes!

Hopefully, my poems will take my reader on an emotional journey to experience what makes beautiful Lakes Entrance and East Gippsland unique amongst places.

This is a book of collected poems of time and place, compiled in the season of the coronavirus 2020, during lockdown.

'You can take the girl out of Lakes Entrance, but you can't take Lakes Entrance out of the girl.'
