About

Beloved by Zoe Leavitt is a soulful sanctuary offering solace, comfort, and reflection through evocative poetry and stunning photography. Rooted in Zoe’s spiritual journey and crafted over years of exploration, the book invites readers to connect with their inner being and embrace compassion and transcendence. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tasmania’s Tarkine region—the ancient ‘Mother Forest’— Craig George’s evocative images complement the verses, bridging inner and outer worlds. The collection encourages meditative reading, allowing one to dip in and out as needed, fostering a deep sense of peace and awakening. Praised for its heartfelt and inspiring meditations, Beloved is a guide to nurturing the soul and recognizing the divinity within. This anthology resonates with seekers longing for connection, hope, and transformation, making it a treasured companion for anyone on a path of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Zoe Leavitt is a writer and a psychologist. This anthology of poetry has been developed through a period of marked spiritual exploration and practice. An accomplished therapist for the past 26 years, Zoe is accustomed to working within the inner space of others. She believes our inner worlds are so much a part of who we are, yet rarely are they spoken of, or given enough attention to.

Craig George, husband of Zoe, has carved an impressive path through an array of professions. In a 30-year career with Victoria Police, he mastered and taught the art of surveillance photography. He’s now an editorial photographer for the Launceston Examiner and his relocation to Tasmania in 2017 ignited a powerful creative renaissance, fuelled by the island’s awe-inspiring natural landscapes. Craig has exhibited his work internationally, including in St. Petersburg, Russia. He was AIPP Victorian Professional Landscape Photographer of the Year (2016) and awarded the “Master of Photography” accreditation in 2018.

Many images in this book were captured during a 2018 expedition to the pristine Tarkine rainforest. A collection was later showcased in a University of Tasmania exhibition inaugurated by former Greens Leader and environmental activist Dr Bob Brown.
