"Kevin Hart's ninth book of poetry, Morning Knowledge, is equal parts taut sinew, sun-drenched eroticism and elegiac grace. In 60 exquisite, bracing, death-soaked poems, he stands like a surveyor on a peak--looking back into the past (his late father; early loves; the lush radiance of the lost Queensland of his youth), all around him in the present (crystalline meditations on being in the world; domestic pleasures; nature outside the window) and forward into the future (his own mortality and, coming full circle, the death of his father), culminating in the searing title poem. "Some words are dipped in silence for a while," he writes, elsewhere. This is the work of a grand poet who knows how to inhabit silence." -- The Sydney Morning Herald.
