Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. AntigoneKefala is one of the elders of Australian poetry, highly regarded for theintensity of her vision, yet not widely known, on account of the small numberof poems she has published, each carefully worked, each magical or menacing inits effects. Fragments is her firstcollection of new poems in almost twenty years, since the publication of New and Selected Poems in 1998, andpossibly her last. It follows her prose work Sydney Journals (Giramondo, 2008) of which one critic wrote, 'Kefala can render the music of the moment so perfectly, she leavesone almost singing with the pleasure of it'. This skill in capturing the momentis just as evident in Fragments,though the territory is often darker now, as the poet patrols the liminalspaces between life and death, alert to the energies which lie in wait there.And such energies! "Up, in the blue depth / a bird cut with its wings / thelight / such silk, that fell / and rose, heavily, / singing through the air.'AntigoneKefala has written four works of fiction, including The First Journey,The Island and Summer Visit, and four poetrycollections, The Alien, Thirsty Weather, European Notebookand Absence: New and Selected Poems as well as the non-fiction work Sydney Journals.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. **Shortlisted, NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2023, Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry**The title of this collection, Revenants, suggests spirits and ghosts who return to the human world through dream and art, not to haunt it, but to remind the living that the present and the past are intertwined. At the heart of the collection is a series of poems about the poet's father, a Melbournian who travelled and worked in Asia as a young man, who married the poet's mother in Bangkok, and whose life and death are commemorated here. The poems have settings in Asia, Australia, Hawai'i, and France, which has become the author's second home. They reflect on the legacy of colonialism, not as theory, but as inherited experience. In them the poet himself may be thought of as a revenant, sharing his awareness of secret histories and local knowledge, stories of migration, the vestiges of forgotten people and places.'The reader is drawn into the palimpsests of hybrid lives and texts by Aitken's weaving of droll sentiment, unsentimental political awareness, and tender observations of passing humanity and nature.' - Shirley Geok-lin Lim Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. *Shortlisted for the 2022 Stella Prize* *Shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards 2022: Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry & Multicultural NSW Award* TAKE CARE explores what it means to survive within systems not designed for tenderness. Bound in personal testimony, the poems situate the act of rape within the machinery of imperialism, where human and non-human bodies, lands, and waters are violated to uphold colonial powers. Andrada explores the magnitude of rape culture in the everyday: from justice systems that dehumanise survivors, to exploitative care industries that deny Filipina workers their agency, to nationalist monuments that erase the sexual violence of war.Unsparing in their interrogation of the gendered, racialised labour of care, the poems flow to a radical, liberatory syntax. Physical and online terrain meld into a surreal ecosystem of speakers, creatures, and excavated histories. Brimming with incantatory power, Andrada's verses move between breathless candour and seething restraint as they navigate memory and possibility. Piercing the heart of our cultural crisis, these poems are salves, offerings, and warnings. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. GeraldMurnane turns to poetry at the end of his literary career, writing frank, disarmingpoems that traverse the rich span of his life. I esteem / above all poems or passages of prose / those that put a lump in my throat. - Gerald Murnane, 'The Darkling Thrush'Gerald Murnane, now in his eightieth year,began his writing career as a poet. After many years as a writer of fiction, heonly returned to poetry a few years ago when he moved to Goroke, in the WesternDistricts of Victoria, after the death of his wife. The forty-five poems collectedhere are in a strikingly different mode to his fiction - without framing ordigressions, and with very few images, they speak openly to the reader of theauthor's memories, beliefs and experiences. They are for this reason animportant addition to his internationally recognised body of fiction, mostrecently Border Districts and Collected Short Fiction, published byGiramondo.The poems include tributes to his motherand father and to his family, and to places that have played a formative rolein his life, like Gippsland, Bendigo, Warrnambool, the Western Districts, andof course Goroke. Especially moving are his poems dedicated to authors who haveinfluenced him - Lesbia Harford and Thomas Hardy, William Carlos Williams, HenryHandel Richardson, Marcel Proust, and with particular force, theeighteenth-century poet John Clare, who gives the collection its title, revered'not only for his writings / but for his losing his reason when / he was forcedfrom the district he had wanted as his for life.'Praise for Gerald Murnane:'A strong case could be made for Murnane.as the greatest living English-language writer most people have never heard of.' - New York Times'No living Australian writer, not even Les Murray, has higher claims to permanence or a richer sense of distinction.' - Sydney Morning Herald GeraldMurnane turns to poetry at the end of his literary career, writing frank, disarmingpoems that traverse the rich span of his life.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Weinberger's essays are like encyclopaedias in miniature, crammed with curious details that make you wonder at the strangeness of creation, and the ability of humans to make it even stranger. Wildlife is a collection which celebrates birds and fish, dogs and flies, ticks and mole-rats, and those two legendary creatures the tiger and the rhinoceros both highly prized, both now almost hunted to extinction. No field of human knowledge is too remote, no fact too fanciful for his purpose, which is to lay before you the world of these animals and the minds of the humans who imagine them. Weinberger's previous collection An Elemental Thing was named by Village Voice one of the '20 Best Books of the Year' and his book What I Heard About Iraq is regarded as an antiwar classic.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Portuguese traders who brought Europe to Japan in the sixteenth century were known as 'southern barbarians'. In his new collection John Mateer offers a contemporary re-charting of the Portuguese Empire. This empire is a fugitive one, notable for its saudade, its awareness of loss, its yearning for a world that appears only intermittently in this one, as an echo, a trace, a memory. At its heart is the figure of the poet, as migrant, tourist, desterrado. His identity is inhabited by other identities, just as the place he is in reminds him of other places. Haunted by doubles and reflections, accompanied by 'spirit guides' who pass between this world and the other, he is both ghostly and connected wherever he goes, and connected precisely because of his ghostliness.
