In ‘Harbour in Me’ acclaimed poet Therese Corfiatis lays bare her hopes and dreams. So fine-tuned with nature are the peregrinations of these poems that they become an arboreal odyssey travelling the highways and byways of the author’s island state of Tasmania. Juxtaposed against this sensory immersion is the painful truth that the world we long to share in harmony with nature is often marred by man’s wilful destruction. Many of the poems will delight with their celebrations of nature’s bounty, yet in other poems the stirrings of patriotism and ancestral yearning transport the reader into the world of yesteryear.
