Nuala won the Ingrid Jonker Prize for her debut collection of poetry, I Flying.

DOO WOP GIRLS OF THE UNIVERSE

Nuala's second collection of poetry.

Love, family, writing and Cape Town's moods form the subject matter of Doo-Wop Girls of the Universe, Finuala Dowling's second collection of poetry. As in her much-loved debut, I Flying, Finuala's distinctive tragicomic voice produces poems filled with wit, verve and poignancy. Ranging in tone from the delightful humour of 'Straight Men of Cape Town' to the sadness of 'Your Death', this is another collection to be read from cover to cover.
