There is immense care and craft shown within these poems. The use of diction and imagery is stunning, such as in “Heart Beat” – “Here peat, still pliant, cradles flesh/ that waits/ for the high-hawk cry of the uilleann pipe”. And the interplay between Irish and Australian settings is deftly handled. A collection to savour.

CAIRNS, Kay — poetry, ‘Between Two Skies’ [August 2024]
$20.00
& Free ShippingBetween Two Skies is a pilgrimage to home, family, memory, nature: a mindful journey between Cairns’ adopted home, Western Australia, and her cultural home, Ireland. Her poetry speaks in colour and sound: white, middle grey, clouded skies. A poignant, insightful view of life, past and present. Delve into a ‘fathomless infinity of space’, breaths so intimate, so gentle that light ‘the earth for days’. A beautiful, meditative, read.
