Night Walking

The memoir Dark-Land by Australian philosopher, theologian, and poet Kevin Hart explores themes of emigration and returning home. The book covers Hart's childhood in London and his subsequent move to Australia.

In his writing, Hart often examines the nature of journeys and the possibility that the meaning found in travel is a fiction created by the imagination. This interest in the act of returning is also present in his 1978 poetry collection, The Departure, which recounts a journey to and from Australia.
