Jill Nevile

This is Jill Nevile's second published poetry collection, following A Scent of Pines in 2010. She continues to find inspiration in her garden and surroundings on the New South Wales Central Coast as well as in her foreign travels. A number of poems have a Greek theme. Jill's love of animals, particularly dogs, is revealed in much of the poetry, especially in the 'personal' chapter. She also likes to have fun by writing limericks and light-hearted poems. Many of Jill's pieces are traditional rhyming poems, but she also uses free verse to express her thoughts. Her poetry has been published in anthologies, newsheets and journals and she took part in the Poetry Project organised by WEA Sydney. Jill attends a workshop group called Friday Night Poets and she would like to record her appreciation of the suggestions made by other members, all of which have helped to hone her poetic skills.
