Dear Sweet Harry

In "Morning Knowledge," Hart grieves the passing of his father, while continuing his unique interlacing of the spiritual and the sensuous. These poems are dual in nature and inspiration, embracing the pain and passion of humanity at the same time as they evoke theimmanence of God in the world. A book of elegies and love poems, prayers and... Kevin Hart is not only one of Australia's most important poets but a major figure in world poetry.
