Book Cover & Preview Text
'Pushing Shadows' is Australian poet Julie Hyndman's first book of poetry. Her work draws on experiences of life, loss and love. Described as 'life in words' her poems create an 'emotional image in the readers mind', evoking a physical response- the reader can't help but 'feel the words'. In every present moment there exists an echo of the past and Pushing Shadows likes to play with these layers. Julie Hyndman is gifted at describing what’s in front of her, but the result is often the finely observed Now shimmering from whole lifetimes of Before. Kristin Henry - author of Atheist in a Foxhole

In her debut collection of heartfelt, powerful poems, Australian poet Julie Hyndman reflects on life, love, and nature while retelling personal experiences, sharing thoughts, and inspiring others.
Hyndman, a seasoned poet, columnist, and blogger, opens her heart and allows a glimpse inside while exploring her memories of love lost, love gained, the beauty of nature, the pain of grief, the writing process, and death. Included in her collection are vivid descriptions of her inspiration for selected poems.
Pushing Shadows shares one woman’s poetic journey through her life as she lyrically observes the past, embraces the present, and looks forward to the future.
