Harbour
Art is always like this
Mysterious as light.
Quiet and insightful, raw in its simplicity, Kate Llewellyn’s latest book examines a life well lived, dipping in and out of memory to tell a tale of small moments and the wisdom of growing old.
The poem ‘Harbour’ touches on what is lost and gained in growing up. ‘The Big Nothing’ draws you on a journey to view the world through another’s eyes. ‘What They Said’ brings forth a cacophony of voices, opinions and dreams across a lifetime.
Altogether, Harbour is a moving, profound and often joyful collection from one of Australia’s finest and most distinctive poets.
