About the Author

Thérèse Corfiatis lives in Ulverstone on Tasmania's beautiful north-west coast. Her passion for the natural world, its shape, substance and light - "a heaviness of bent colour / an arcing over of gold" (Acacia Avenues) - and her exploration of the human condition - "our love and longing / is rolled tight, like a ball" (Thoughts on a Mother’s Birthday) - offer moments in time that she hopes resonate for her readers.
