John Den-Kaat

John Den-Kaat is a Scottish-born Australian poet and visual artist based in Brisbane, whose work explores stillness, thresholds, and the quiet transformations that shape a life.

With decades of experience in the healing arts and ongoing interfaith ministerial formation, his writing arises from a life devoted to presence, embodiment, and sacred listening.

His poetry invites readers to stand close to what burns without turning away.

He is the author of A Mirror for the Flame, an evolution from his earlier collection See the Dark; Feel the Light.
