Glimpses of Earth collects moments of clarity in the search for belonging. The bush is the bedrock of the work, which explores a beauty seen away from humankind, the coming alive of the world when you let yourself go. Old lessons hide out there, in shaded clearings and animal tracks. In the mirror of life provided by other beings are conversations about love, about being enough, about knowing who you are. There is grief, for environmental catastrophes felt from afar. There is praise, there is awe that inspires life, there is love, gratitude and deep appreciation for the marvels of Earth.
'In Glimpses of Earth we are privileged to glimpse the mind of Leo Lazarus, a new poetic voice speaking in the language of nature. He takes us into the world of trees, sun, moon, water, insects and animals and all that we can learn from them as mere humans in their thrall. We can do well to read these poems and appreciate nature for all her gifts in the gift of this poetry. I welcome Leo to the pantheon of poets whose voice is a breath of fresh air.' - Sandy Jeffs OAM
