Your Shadow : (Poems 1980-1983) is a collection of poems by Australian poet Kevin Hart, published by Angus and Robertson in 1984.
The collection contains 46 poems from a variety of sources.
Writing in The Age Monthly Review Gary Catalano noted that Hart's poetry is "a vehicle for his fundamental beliefs about the nature of the world", adding that the poetry is "studded with vivid and memorable details."
Lachlan Brown, of the University of Sydney, wrote that there are "three ways of reading Hart’s poetry using three 'shadows' that appear to hang over some of his early work. Firstly the representational shadow, secondly the shadow of death and thirdly a kind of theological shadow, which speaks some interesting things onto the other two shadows."
