POETRY SPOTLIGHT: 'Frost' by Kate Llewellyn

It's time for our Poem of the Week to bring you into the long weekend! Today we are featuring 'Frost' by the wonderful Kate Llewellyn, from her recent collection Harbour.

As we head into the Easter long weekend, I thought it might be a good time to sink into the calming and vivid imagery of Kate Llewellyn's work.
This particular piece featured today celebrates the beauty of a garden in the morning frost, and the joy to be found within ordinary activity. Yes, winter is approaching and the weather is growing colder. Yet, as explored within Kate Llewellyn's poem 'Frost', that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

A perfect collection, and poem, for dreaming away the long, slow weekend. It makes one yearn to be in the garden, cultivating in the cool.
To read more of Kate Llewellyn's beautiful poetry, discover her latest collection Harbour.
Quiet and insightful, raw in its simplicity, this collection of poems from iconic Australian poet Kate Llewellyn, written between the years of 2000 to 2019, examines a life well lived, dipping in and out of memory to tell a tale of small moments and the wisdom of growing old.
In the poem 'Harbour' she touches on what is lost and gained in growing up, 'The Big Nothing' draws readers along on a journey to view the world through another's eyes, and 'What They Said' brings forth a cacophony of voices, opinions and dreams across a lifetime.
Moving, profound and often joyful, this collection is a must-have for all Kate Llewellyn fans.
