Stephen Mallick is a Tasmanian poet and artist. The poems of Just a Moment explore times past events and memories of childhood and adolescence the natural world and the child’s insights into a family in pain. The poems have a rich lyricism employing subtle rhyme and rhythm rooted in the natural cadences of everyday speech. Deceptively simple the poems build within the collection to a powerful meditation on the pains joys and coming-to-terms of growing up.
