'The Stories in Between' is Teresa Forrest's debut pamphlet. It explores heritage, relationships and what it means to belong. Poems about family members are rooted, as are the people themselves, in the landscape around them. But there are also lonely people wandering across the pages, asking to be listened to, and there are glimpses into other people's lives, showing us how they have been dislocated, and how profound loss has shaped some of them. The stories in between the poems are left unspoken, and they haunt this collection. They are as important as the message explicitly conveyed.--
