Katherine Gallagher Livres

The collection features a blend of poetry from five of Gallagher's earlier works alongside a significant amount of new material. Drawing inspiration from her Australian roots, her experiences in Paris, and her life in London, Gallagher's poetry reflects a deep appreciation for discovery and a keen awareness of the environments that shape her. The diverse influences enrich her writing, making it a vibrant exploration of identity and place.

This collection is bejewelled throughout with haiku-like moments of vivid observation. Her responses-in particular to the natural world- serve to peel away the film of familiarity through which we usually gaze. Yet she combines such excited observation with a quality of restraint, a respect for what she encounters in a process of self-creation.
