The Gathering Light

Based on ‘Birds and Fish’, the non fiction account of the life of acclaimed Australian poet Robert Adamson, The Gathering Light follows Clive, a poet and fisherman living on the Hawkesbury river north of Sydney, as he meticulously prepares to catch a jewfish. They say the original name for them was “jewel-fish” because if you split the head apart there sits, like a third eye, a little pearl-like bone like a gland in front of the brain.
