About the Book
This is a book of poems about such secrets.
Under this rubric I have included spiritual exploration, connection to other people and to the earth, dealing with adversity, how the same events can be seen in different ways.
I have tried to match each poem with a fitting picture. Sometimes my choices will appear obvious, sometimes they are more obscure. If you don't get the connection don't worry - it's all in my mind anyway.
About the Creator
Ian Hills started writing songs and poems as a child and has never stopped. Writing poetry and music does not provide a reliable income, so Ian developed his interest in people into a career. He studied psychology at Queensland University in the sixties. After graduating he practiced as a psychologist more or less continuously until his retirement. He has written about his life and career in a memoir series: "Through a hedge backwards". Ian continues to be a spiritual seeker and an active campaigner for the environment, peace and human rights. This is often reflected in his poems and songs. Ian has been single, a family man and a divorcee. He has four children and numerous grandchildren who add depth to his life, his writing and his practice of psychology. He lives on a bush block in a house he built himself and spends his time writing, playing music and going for long drives through the Australian countryside.
