Athenaeum Library
I shelve romance
& turn to crime
About this Rooku
I am a member of the Athenaeum Library and wanted to write a poem celebrating this little-known Melbourne treasure. I like to play with words and create layers of meaning, and believe I managed to achieve this with my rooku.
About Mary Hind
I left England for Australia twenty-five years ago with my husband, my daughters and our cat and have lived in Melbourne ever since. I have been writing haiku for over ten years and have been published in journals both in Australia and overseas.
