Product details
This stunning text by Australian poet Gwen Harwood is taken from a longer poem of four verses, Tetragrammaton.
Tetragrammaton, simply translated to 'having four letters', refers to the Hebrew name for God: the four letters yod, he, yau, he. The letters YHWH (or occasionally JHVH) are vocalised as Yahweh or Jehovah. In Hebrew culture the letters become a substitute for the name of God, which was considered too sacred to be spoken aloud.
Harwood wrote this set of poems in 1987 as a 70th birthday present to Jan Sedivka, the former head of the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music.
