The provided lyrics illustrate the cyclical and overwhelming nature of modern pharmaceutical dependency. The source describes a frustrating loop where patients consume additional medications solely to counteract the adverse reactions caused by their initial treatments. This progression often results in a convoluted daily regimen, transforming a simple medical intervention into a complex "stack" of pills. By highlighting the discrepancy between medical advice and patient reality, the text critiques a system that prioritises temporary fixes over holistic health. Ultimately, the narrative portrays a precarious existence sustained by warning labels and an ever-increasing list of prescriptions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Adelaide poet Miriel Lenore didn't take to poetry until  two thirds of her way through an adventurous life. She was over her many years a botanist, researcher, traveller, student, teacher, activist, feminist, mother and  grandmother. Miriel spent twenty years in Fiji, forty years in the Australian women's movement and the Adelaide writing scene, and ten years as a regular visitor to a Ngaanyatjarra community in the Western Desert of Western Australia. Miriel died in 2024 aged 96. Cath discusses Miriel’s final collection, with the poet’s longtime friend and curator, author Margaret Merrilees.   Guest: Margaret Merrilees   “Driving to Mulberrygong” published by Wakefield press @wakefieldpressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
