Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. With deep roots in the Kimberley region, Olive Knight shares her story of growing up with the Gooniyandi and Walmatjarri peoples of north-western Australia. As the daughter of a half-caste father, she was nearly killed on the day of her birth, as was customary for half-blood children in her… community. Thankfully she was spared by an elder, and would follow her own path, full of hardship as she moved from mission to mission. She eventually found love and fulfilment, following her late husband Jim's passion for Indigenous rights, becoming a respected translator and community leader. After Jim's death, Olive's singing and songwriting opened unexpected worlds of opportunity. From early days in mission gospel choirs to finding her true voice in the country western, blues and rock n' roll music of the day, Olive's talent as a singer eventually led to collaborations with other artists and performers, many of whom sought her unique voice and ability to translate songs into her traditional language. In 2011, Olive was invited to sing as part of Hugh Jackman's Back on Broadway production. The memoir of Olive Knight (Kankawa Nagarra), a Wangkajungka woman who has led the most extraordinary life.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Driving through the countryside, you may have noticed that nowadays it's paddock after paddock of merino sheep, while virtually every cow lining up for milking is black and white. Your neighbours' backyard chooks are likely to be Isa Browns. You probably can't even remember the last time yo…u saw a pig, because they're all hidden away in sheds. An extinction crisis is quietly unfolding on our farms. Since mid-last century, advancements in animal husbandry have resulted in the global adoption of a small number of fast-growing, high-yielding livestock types. While performance and profitability gains have been extraordinary, they have led to the extinction of a unique livestock breed globally each month for over three decades. This book tells the story of the Australian farmers working hard to save the remaining heritage breeds of cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Gressier argues that heritage breed farmers are motivated by one of the most powerful conservation tools we have: love. Catie Gressier is an Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Agriculture and Environment at the University of Western Australia, and a PhD candidate in Creative Writing at Curtin University.

'That's what I need from life.'She was not the only one. At a time when women were considered incapable of…being 'real' artists, a number of precocious girls in Australian cities were weighing their chances and laying their plans.A Free Flame explores the lives of four such women, Gwen Harwood, Dorothy Hewett, Christina Stead, and Ruth Park, each of whom went on to become a notable Australian writer.They were very different women from very different backgrounds, but they shared a sense of urgency around their vocation - their 'need' to be a writer - that would not let them rest.Weaving biography, literary criticism, and cultural history, this book looks at the ways in which these women laid siege to the artist's identity, and ultimately remade it in their own image.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'From the exploration of love myths to the celebration of Mumbai, from an extraordinary portrait poem like Sita to the humorous eroticism of Parvati in Darlinghurst, the poems in Vishvarupa show a breadth of human understanding and unassuming wisdom that matches their extraordinary verbal f…lair. With rich intoxications and buried longings, Cahill, in the best tradition of poetry, expands our sense of who we are.' - Peter Boyle 'Michelle Cahill spans the distance between myth and reality, Australia and India with an ardent intelligence. In beautifully polished, elegant language these poems romp and sing, and they also surprise with moments of subtle tenderness. This is a strong, disciplined, uncompromising poet who delivers probing and deeply engaging work.' - Judith Beveridge 'Transporting the reader from Darlinghurst to Mumbai, from garden to temple, these poems resonate with the author's clear-eyed wonder, quiet, precise powers of observation and gleaming turn of phrase. In a long list full of technically brilliant poets working at full stretch, Michelle Cahill's Vishvarupa was a quiet, poised delight.' - Judges Report, 2012 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 'From the exploration of love myths to the celebration of Mumbai, from an extraordinary portrait poem like Sita to the humorous eroticism of Parvati in Darlinghurst , the poems in Vishvarupa Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Martin Harrison (1949-2014) prepared and delivered this final manuscript at the end of a prolific creative life. With the vulnerability of a lover, the poet peels back one cover of truth after another; reckless for the evidence of the senses, he sifts light, sound and smell. Poems like the…skin of a world: breathing, walking, touching. Martin Harrison's culminating poetic achievement is a crossing over, stylistically, thematically, emotionally. Mapping the tragic chiasmus of love and death, it finally asserts the transcendent power of poetry to bear witness, to join us in a greater communion. Cosmopolitan and local, these triumphs of a 'late style' remind us what poetry is when its mastery allows the irony of existence to walk naked and to exult.

Life in Brisbane hasn't exactly made him…feel connected to his Country or community. Luckily, he's got his best friend, Jenny, who has been by his side through their hectic days at St Lucia Private.After graduating, Jono and Jenny score gigs at the Aboriginal Performing Arts Centre and an incredible opportunity comes knocking - interning with a documentary crew.

What's the real story behind the gas mining venture? Are the documentary crew hiding something from Jono? And could Wudun be a messenger from the land, fighting back against the invasion?Borderland is a heart-pounding horror gothic that follows Jono on an epic quest to find himself in the face of unbelievable challenges. Graham Akhurst, the brilliant mind behind this coming-of-age gem, is a Fulbright scholar from the Kokomini of Northern Queensland.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. I am calling her Amber because amber is my favourite stone. In truth, it is not a stone at all. Technically, it is fossilised tree resin that has withstood all kinds of weather and woe, the likes of which would normally cause sap to disintegrate. Amber resists decay.I am calling her Amber t…o give her something precious. To remind her of what the world has to offer. She knew this once, more keenly than most. But she has forgotten. I am hoping to remind her that the world's beauty isn't gone. That beauty exists inside things, sometimes trapped, often obscured.When Amber returns to her home in the Australian desert one year after her brother's death, her hope is to move on from her grief, to start again. Invited to do some work in a remote Aboriginal community, she relishes the opportunity to return to country she loves so deeply. She hadn't realised her friend Andrew had a reason to ask her to come back.She begins a three-day road trip on unsealed roads that link a constellation of Aboriginal communities. From the outset, it is as if she has been picked up willy willy on a windless day, and must be carried to the end of it -until the wind decides to drop. During this adventure, her composure is undone by a series of encounters, observations, the country itself, and she learns that grief takes its own time.Told like memoir, spun like myth, this is a philosophical tale about coming to terms with the death of a loved one. About our way of dealing with death, and the offerings of another culture. It is about home, and how this is found in people as much as place. I am calling her Amber because amber is my favourite stone. In truth, it is not a stone at all. Technically, it is fossilised tree resin that has withstood all kinds of weather and woe, the likes of which would normally cause sap to disintegrate. Amber resists decay.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Joseph Brodsky, the Russian Nobel laureate, once remarked that memory and art have in common the 'ability to select, a taste for detail.' In the work of Nathanael O'Reilly, memory and art come together to bring us poems that remember what cannot - what must not - be forgotten, in rich and…telling detail and with a taste for quiet but incisive irony." ~ Paul KaneThe poems in this transnational, cosmopolitan collection traverse fourteen countries, from Australia, the poet's homeland, to the United States, his place of residence, making stops in ancestral homelands Ireland and England, passing through continental Europe and the Middle East. O'Reilly's poetry continually crosses both visible and invisible borders, excavating landscapes and the local, belonging and unbelonging, cross-cultural exchanges, expatriation, globalisation, exile, identity, youth, loss, relationships, ageing, and death. The speakers in the poems are often in motion or making preparations for departure, unwilling and unable to remain static, always eager to explore."Nathanael O'Reilly's poems sound the major themes of Australian poetry: landscape, displacement, yearning, and above all a critique of cultural narrowness. O'Reilly's plain-spoken diction is often laced with understated wit, but is given ballast by its principled grounding in lived experience." ~ Nicholas Birns "Joseph Brodsky, the Russian Nobel laureate, once remarked that memory and art have in common the 'ability to select, a taste for detail.'

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "David Ades' luminous and honest collection, Afloat in Light, is chiefly a celebration of fatherhood and of paying attention, utilising Simone Weil's notion that 'attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity'. The collection extends to existence and loss, and a discourse on motive…and meaning. Maps and moral compass are never far away in such explorations and like all good navigators Ades consults the moon and the stars to guide him through emotional terrain that crosses the globe via Australia, India and the United States. Poems about connection and love-familial, intimate, parental and friendship-hold their weight of history via scar tissue and heritage to allow 'a vast and full space to fill the maps of our lives'. Afloat in Light delicately balances that most crucial aspect of life-of how the ordinary is anything but. Ades is a poet that fully harnesses the verve of small miracles." - Libby Hart "David Ades' luminous and honest collection, Afloat in Light Afloat in Light delicately balances that most crucial aspect of life-of how the ordinary is anything but.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Lesbia Harford (18911927) has occupied only a small place in Australian literary history for decades, she was utterly forgotten yet when she died, at thirty-six, she left behind three notebooks containing some of the finest lyric poems ever written in Australia.

At the same time, Harford was bound inextricably to the period in which she lived: war in Europe, changing attitudes to religion, the suffrage movement, and widespread social upheaval all helped make her one of the first truly modern, urban figures in Australian poetry.
