Passengers to the Citywas shortlisted for the 1986 Adelaide Festival National Poetry Awards. Tigers on the Silk Road is distributed in Australia by Fremantle Arts Centre Press/Penguin. In 2005, Vagabond Press published After Kandinsky, a limited edition series of poems on Kandinsky paintings, in their Rare Objects Series. Of Tigers on the Silk Road, Les Murray said:“This book is a beautifully polished brown seed, and there’s a strong big tree inside it.” Jo Shapcott: “In Tigers on the Silk Road, Katherine Gallagher is writing at top flight. The poems are by turns tender, then bleak, always open to the many emotional and geographical landscapes they cover. Many countries are visited in these poems, and many sensibilities. Love lost, love gained, growth and motherhood, the fragmented identity. It’s a very modern book, the writings of a traveller who investigates geographical, political and moral dislocations of the self and the heart.”
