Kevin Hart is a poet and theologian. Born in London and raised in Brisbane, he has a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Melbourne. He is currently Professor of Christian Studies at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, US. He travelled to Tasmania several times in the 1980s and early 1990s, mostly to see Gwen Harwood, with whom he was good friends. He visited various parts of the state, including the Cradle-Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, which he describes as “surely one of the most beautiful places on the planet”. Today, the landscape around his home in central Virginia reminds him a little of “some of the untouched grandeur of Tasmania”.
