Publisher's Synopsis
AfterLife was shortlisted in the 2021 Dorothy Hewett awards. The judges had this to say about the manuscript:
Even the titles thrum, so that the index reads like a suite of small poems. Kathryn Lomer's is a house with many rooms, Wunderkammers all, filled with curious objects drawn from the worlds of art, science, nature, love, life, death... everything. Supple lines and sensitive rhythms make surprising conjunctions, often leading us from the smallest detail of a beloved's body to an erotics of the cosmos. Lomer's music shows us what it means to live a life of poetry.
