Morning Light

My third collection of poetry and art Morning Light was published in January 2024 by Palewell Press

Morning Light is the final part of Tom Harding's poetry trilogy that began with Night Work and Afternoon Music. Tom writes about love, loneliness and alienation. He illustrates his books, too, with iconic black and white sketches, making this a poetry collection to treasure.

It can be ordered from Amazon or direct from the publisher Palewell Press, including ordering the ‘Night and Day trilogy’ (Night Work, Afternoon Music and Morning Light) at a 20% discount on the price of the individual books, go to our Bundles & Gifts page- Palewell Press

...life is reflected in these poems, enhanced by caffeine and a dash of Coltrane, and illustrations that perfectly match the words. They create a mood of savouring every moment, where ‘everything seems possible today’, and a cumulative effect that is both calming and joyful. Recommended to lift the spirits.
