Brenda Eldridge's Golden Days navigates a gentle way through the journey of her husband Stephen Matthews' fight with cancer and his choice to take the path of Voluntary Assisted Dying. In Brenda's poem, 'Silver Light', she writes:
I tease him about becoming a butterfly
I want so much for him to be free
Brenda's glorious and confronting poems explore a couple's descent into illness, the helplessness and pain this inflicts. Her poems speak to an extraordinary love, full of tenderness, compassion, and the courage it takes to seek out golden days, as each day diminishes in hope. Her collection is a fitting tribute for Stephen Matthews, the man whose vision for Ginninderra Press gave thousands of Australian writers a voice.
