We are tiny beneath the light

Author(s): Heidi North

NZ Poetry

Heidi’s second collection of poetry speaks of the beautiful and the ugly in a single breath, and out of enormity creates small parcels of light.


We are tiny beneath the light charts the end of a marriage and the tumble of tiny moments that make up a life under stress, including the unexpected discoveries that can still bring joy – watching a child fly a blue kite or weaving words to make sense of sorrow. Heidi’s second collection manages to speak of the beautiful and the ugly in a single breath, and out of enormity creates small parcels of light.
