Siarad isa Welsh word, meaning to talk, to speak. In this collection of spoken word,prose poetry and micro-fiction, Reid speaks to the memories and emotions thatmove us through decades, continents and cultures. The collection pulses withimages of stars and stray dogs, highways with no horizon and mothers withfading memories. Reid's background as a performer and playwright shines in thiscollection of works that are as bold as they are tender, begging to be shouted,spoken, whispered many times over. 'Psychedelic. Startling. Alive. This book takes you to places younever imagined you'd go, and some places you've already been, but thought youwere alone when you were there.

'Caroline Reid's writing illuminates the mundane and the ordinaryas spectacular and powerful.' -- Rosslyn Prosser, University of Adelaide
