DescriptionAfter a decorated career heading architectural firms in Melbourne, Tim Hurburgh is sharing for the first time another of his heart’s passions: poetry, firmly rooted in the Tasmanian soil on which he grew up. The sure hand of seasoned guide Hurburgh’s aptly named Disruptions persuasively jolts the reader out of shibboleth rainforests to crisp visions in amusing, aching, and compelling realities. It provides a too-long-needed fresh insight into the Tasmanian locale shadowed by its Van Diemen’s Land convict-scarred past. Author descriptionTim Hurburgh grew up on the Derwent River north of Hobart, across the water from the estate that all Tasmanians know today as internationally celebrated private art museum, MONA Following a period in the US to study architecture on a Harvard University scholarship, Tim returned to Australia and after years of successfully running two of Australia’s foremost architectural practices in Melbourne, his passion for poetry evolved. Inspired by lush undulating farmlands on which he now resides and evoking remarkable personal episodes in the unique island state, his poems provide vigorous life spectres of present-day Tasmania and its shrouded past. |
