an ordinary magic


”an ordinary magic takes the reader on a powerful journey into just that... the ordinary magic of what it means to be human. To laugh, to love and to grieve. To experience deep joy, as well as deep sadness. It is a raw collection that is simultaneously both intensely personal and completely relatable. A book that you will come back to time and time again."oò




”Magic. This little book of poems will wave its magic wand over all your joys and pains and romantic ponderings and turn them into poetry because Foletta’s world is so relatable it could be your world she’s writing about. There’s love, there’s before love, there’s after love and then there are all the significant, but often not memorialized, moments in between. Do yourself a favour, get this book..”
"an ordinary magic is an intimately relatable and wonderfully crafted celebration of the full range of life delivered skilfully and honestly through the author’s eloquent poetic lens. It is a work of intelligence, wit and rawness that reveals the true scope of its depth with each subsequent reading and makes it an absolute joy to come back to again and again. Highly enjoyable, highly recommended and a must read."
”I loved this book from start to finish. I thought I’d just dip in and out of it, as I usually do with books of poetry, but once I started, I couldn’t put it down...I just wanted to delve into the next moment of joy or pain or delight or whatever with Anna and her poet’s eye for detail. I can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s truly a book of poetry for the senses..”
reviews

ANNA FOLETTA
I respectfully recognise and acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which this book and my writing takes place. I pay my respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, who are the custodians of the land where I live and work, and their Elders past, present and emerging.
I am committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas and their rich contribution to society.
It always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
