Poems by Julie Thorndyke
” . . . the immensity of the open space, the depth of the canyon, the light and air all around—unlike the sea, nothing to provide buoyancy, just a void into which a body might fall and never be found.”
Experience the unique atmosphere and creative solitude of Julie Thorndyke’s month-long winter writing residency at Mount Wilson, through this collection of reflective and personal poetry responding to the climate, landscape and history of a remote mountain hamlet. Julie Thorndyke writes poetry and fiction for children and adults. Editor of Eucalypt: a tanka journal since 2017, Julie’s books include Mrs Rickaby’s Lullaby (adult novel), Divertimento (short stories) and children’s picture books Waiting for the Night, Watching through the Day, and Alice’s Shoe.
