Sandra Renew’s latest collection of poetry and micro-lit is She goes to Town, (Life before Man/Gazebo Books), Australia 2024.
Sandra’s poetry has been awarded two Canberra Critics Circle Awards. One in 2023 for Apostles of Anarchy, Recent Work Press 2023, and in 2019, with Moya Pacey ‘for their influential work in exposing Canberra women’s poetry to view through their biannual online journal for women’s poetry, Not Very Quiet 2017-2022.’
In her on-going work she consistently employs themes of dissent, protest and the contradictions and consequences of living on the fringes of heterosexuality.
She writes on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land (Canberra) and Yuin land (Cobargo).
