Selected Poems of Dorothy Hewett by Kate Lilley

by
March 2011, no. 329

Dorothy Hewett is a vivid presence in all her poetry. This selection from her life’s work opens with a poem written in her last year at school. It begins:

 

The dark fires shall burn in many rooms;
will they sometimes miss me with my
tangled hair –
still girls in dark uniforms … ?
