<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>'From quandongs to Covid-19, from a grandchild discovering Neptune's necklace to small butterflies darting "as if in time to Ross Edwards' <em>Ecstatic Dances</em>..." this second book from Kathryn Fry offers a kaleidoscopic dazzle of imagery from the natural world. In a vividly recognisable Australian landscape, her poems are rich in scientific curiosity and knowledge, but also grounded and emotionally connected to everyday life. There is a delightful buoyancy in the writing: an enthusiasm for the way we live in our contemporary world which offers many "hallelujahs" and "blessings" as well as poignant insights. <em>The Earth Will Outshine Us</em> is an impressively original and timely collection.' - Jean Kent</p><p>'Reading Kathryn Fry's fine poems of nature and art, I was suddenly thinking of Simon Schama's monumental <em>Landscape and Memory</em>. But where Schama explains, analyses and informs, Kathryn Fry - delicately, precisely - evokes, unveils, delights and reminds. To misquote from her poem "The Earth Will Outshine Us", these poems are "a lesson // in seeing". And feeling: for the art and science of being sentient to the fragile beauties of this world and its people.' - Brook Emery</p>
