Powerfulfirst collection by acclaimed Filipina Australian performance poet

In Flood Damages Andrada explores themesassociated with immigration and inheritance, through the figure of a young AustralianFilipina woman, whose family has been irreparably damaged by deportation,violence and illness. The wounds inflicted by these events, political andpersonal, are felt most keenly in and through her body

'your blood sings ofthe scattered histories/ that left you here'

and in a dramatic use of language,influenced by the rhythms of prayer, which expresses pain and anger withpassionate intensity. A performance poet, Andrada combines the theatricalqualities of voice and image in this, her first published collection, affirmingthe female body as a site of vulnerability and power.
