Lorne Johnson close visceral connection to the flora and fauna of
the Morton National Park, south of Sydney near his home in
Bundanoon, give breath to every page of this elegant chapbook.
His poetry touches the ground lightly, in fleeting avian fashion,
while his keen, bird-like senses miss little, whether with the
photographers eye or the poet’s ear.
Under sweaty
morning skies,
we clambered through
vaulted emerald domes
and spirals of light and insects.
Everything around us
buzzed and ticked.
The air tasted of minted salt.
If you live in the bush, you need this poetry to parse and
proclaim your connection to the sights and sounds around you.
And if you live in the heart of the city, you really need these
poems, and you need them now.
