Synopsis
Kathryn Hamann lives and writes in Melbourne. In this truthful and nuanced collection of poems Kathryn reflects on light and shade and ponders how even in the cold desert parts of life, one can be surprised by the three-part harmony of sheer silence. Kathryn’s work has been published in a wide range of journals, in Australia as well as internationally. This is her third book.
“In An Embrace of Morning, Kathryn Hamann uses well-written phrases and a sure touch to balance a picture of earthly clumsiness and limitation with an unseen but clear presence, a non-intrusive comforter.” Joyce Lee.
