A collection which pays attention to a broad
spectrum of life, from the natural world, to
the art world, the inner world, the world of
creatures, of ideas, of memory. To moments
of epiphany, of joy, and of loss

Shortlisted (with 5 others from a field of 360)
for the 2021 Dorothy Hewett Award for an
Unpublished Manuscript
‘Even the titles thrum, so that the index reads
like a suite of small poems. Kathryn Lomer’s is
a house with many rooms, Wunderkammers
all, filled with curious objects drawn from the
worlds of art, science, nature, love, life, death...
everything. Supple lines and sensitive rhythms
make surprising conjunctions, often leading us
from the smallest detail of a beloved’s body to
an erotics of the cosmos. Lomer’s music shows
us what it means to live a life of poetry.’
