by Helga Jermy (Author), Sophie Jermy (Cover Design by)
This is Helga Jermy's fourth collection of poetry. Her work has been widely published and recognised in national and
international competitions. Born in England and now living on Lutruwita-Tasmania's northwest coast, her work explores life in all its complexity.
These poems explore time through the hourglass of self, reflecting on memories of family, work, place, socio-political change and the day-to-day cabin pressure of existence.
'When you stop and free yourself from schedules, space opens up and the world rushes in demanding to be understood. Helga Jermy's poems speak strongly of the breadth of experience that can shape a life and the ways in which we continue to learn and to understand ourselves, often in retrospect as the years accumulate.'
- Anne Collins
