Nine Poems

By Leon van der Linde

Nine Poems by Leon van der Linde is a meditative journey through the landscapes of Tasmania and New South Wales, where the external world becomes a mirror for internal transformation. From the dusk-lit swells of Preservation Bay to the quiet ambles of the Dial Ranges, and from the seasonal rhythms of a Yallaroo farm to the philosophical dawn beside Mount Yarrowyck, this collection weaves place, memory, and spirituality into verse.

Drawing on the author's background in psychology and relational neuroscience, these poems explore how natural reality nourishes the human spirit. They ask whether consciousness is a basic property of all physical reality and find answers in the whispering stars of Half Moon Creek, the solitary glide of a wedge-tailed eagle, and an endless field of magnolias.

Elegiac, hopeful, and deeply rooted in the Australian earth, Nine Poems invites readers to slow down, listen, and reconnect with the wider presence that moves through ocean, mountain, and self.

Praise for this collection:
