Daniel Mirante

Summer Gillett is an Australian artist practicing in Northern Rivers, New South Wales Australia. Her work is strikingly beautiful and resonates with aesthetic sensibilities that are pre-modern and to a certain extent traditional, but not provincial – imbued with an esoteric dimension that reflects on contemporary spiritual concerns about the role of the priestess figure or oracle in the contemporary world.

The attested story is that Patrick Kavanagh personally gave Luke the poem.
The setting of the ballad to the air of the older song ‘The Breaking of the Day’, which Kavanagh himself desired, is in no way straightforward; in fact it’s a work of musical genius.
That’s why Kavanagh probably thought “I can’t fit the words and music quite right, I’ve tried; if anyone can, this man can do it.”
