Holding the Moment, a creative collaboration from Judith E.P. Johnson (haiku) and her daughter, Debra Johnson Fast (photography), focuses on the beauty of Blackmans Bay beach, lutruwita/Tasmania and celebrates our island’s natural wonders. It offers space for quiet reflection where the brevity and depth of each haiku gently encourage pause, and the accompanying beach photographs deepen the moment away from everyday life.
This delightful book … held me captivated by its arrestingly timeless visual and verbal images. It speaks volumes for the redemptive and healing powers of art in a troubled world. ‘No matter how dark/ the night/ here comes the sun’, one of the haiku says it all. ~ Graeme Hetherington, author of The Persistence of History
To celebrate the launch of Holding the Moment, Judith and Debra will be in conversation with Pen Tayler, Tasmanian photographer and writer.
Join Judith, Debra and Pen at the Afterword Cafe.
