Midweek Mélange
Thank you for sharing this poem. Mackellar's land is very different from mine, but the feeling is the same.
I agree: nature and place are installed in us in interesting ways.
It is a lovely poem. I think anyone that has grown up here in Australia knows that second stanza, 'a sunburnt country', by heart.
This was so good to learn. An eye-opening find for me, and so good to push away (well, shove aside) so much American-centricness!
This poem is so packed with imagery, reading it is as blissful as eating a cupcake. Thank you for sharing the poem and the bio, Kate.
