Imagine the hardships of interminable drought, then facing threatening bushfires, wild dust storms, driving rains and floods - and then home schooling four children in a pandemic - ALL IN ONE SUMMER.

 

That is the situation that Australian writer Tammy Harrison and her rural family have endured in the last year.

 

Rather than be defeated, Tammy has harnessed her remarkably resilient energy and optimistic spirit to create ’Whispers of Hope - waiting for rain’ - her first collection of poetry.

 

Every poem reflects the heartache and struggles of every day for so many Australian farmers as they wait for rain to break the devastating drought.

 

But it isn’t all doom and gloom.

 

Tammy’s positivity creates HOPE as she celebrates the joys and triumphs of life on an Australian farming community, close to the Outback.

 

This poetry collection is beautifully illustrated by Tammy Harrison’s own photographs taken around the farm.

Every photograph highlights an aspect of Aussie bush life:

 
  • Stunning scenery and seasonal changes
  • The impact of the forces of nature - from dry dusty plains to overflowing dams
  • Stunning scenery and seasonal changes
  • The impact of the forces of nature - from dry dusty plains to overflowing dams
  • Unique Australian native flora and fauna
  • Daily life on a grazing property
  

You will be struck by Tammy’s love of her country, family and her lifestyle as you read about the simple pleasures of the place she is proud to call home.

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
