WHERE SHADOWS LENGTHEN print

This painting is from Darkling: The Owl’s Song by Catherine Hyde — shortlisted for the Holyer an Gof Poetry Award 2025, published by Apollo, an imprint of Bloomsbury.

‘Pairing stunning art with lyrical poetry, this ode to the owl is deeply compelling on multiple levels.’ — Barnes & Noble

‘Darkling is a magnificent praise song that honours both the darkness and the owl. Lyrical in both word and image, it is a wild triumph.’ — Jackie Morris

In the Darkling Wood
day’s light is fading
into hazy uncertainty.
Coiled on the breeze, leafy woodsmoke
drifts.
Shadows lengthen,
creeping like ink
into hawthorn and holly.
