This impressive first poetry collection traverses time and place with ease. Acute in her ability to juxtapose cultures in a breath, Gleeson is as much at ease adopting a perspective on Tongan women as on the wife of the Desert Fox, Irwin Rommel. In Between the Dancing was the winner of the 2008 IP Picks Best First Book Award.”

IP (Interactive Publications Pty Ltd) –
In the poems of Anne Gleeson, memory is transformed into memorable speech. With wit and passion, skill and fellow feeling, the fragmentations of the past are made whole through a re-imagining as poetry. In Between the Dancing is the premier of a new poet, a first book that is as premier as it is memorable.
– Paul Kane, Antipodes

Gleeson’s natural-voice poetry works into the corners of experience, both personal and imagined – a humane and contemplative first collection.
