Product reviews for Blood Lines

Juliet Robertson’s collection, Blood Lines, is a poetic exploration of her terminal cancer diagnosis. Throughout the collection, Robertson’s resilience and positivity shine through: ‘I’m a dancer with my cancer / fabulous partners in crime’, she states. At times she uses startlingly original visual representations to respond to the processes surrounding her diagnosis; at others Robertson uses unusual imagery to transform the slow steps of her journey: it is a bus ride, a space trip, a road journey, a seashore. Heartbreaking and heartwarming, Blood Lines is a handbook for living and dying well, delivered with grace, fortitude and humour.
