The Accidental Cage
She is a hunter of women brown eyes dilated, I watch her gracefully pouring tea. She smells of the chase, her blood-smeared nails assault you in the afternoon heat.
Fresh News from the Arctic
'Resonant and delicate, Fresh News from the Arctic explores the physical and imaginary. This is a collection that investigates what it means to be human, probing into the meaning of life and questioning mortality, myth - both private and known - and the mysterious. At once atmospheric, with a surreal blend of emotion and memory, Fresh News is a fluid and ever-shifting landscape of possibilities. These poems are restless and inquisitive. They echo a desire to forge a voice that is as curious as it is distinctive. These are poems attuned to our tough yet fragile planet. Feelingly, they celebrate its loam and snow, travelled seas, and the inexhaustible theatre of sky.' - Chris Wallace-Crabbe 'These warm, spare poems move exquisitely between memory, imagination and history: from the Arctic Circle to Virginia Woolf, from two fruits and ice cream to kangaroos in Paris. Libby Hart understands that poetry is language on the point of evocation, intent on "murmuring the world, grasping it slowly". She is indeed a poet to watch.' - Lisa Jacobson 'Vivid, strong, sinuous, beautifully rendered. Highly memorable and compelling.' - Mikhail Iossel, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada
The Possibility of Winds
Rosemary Huisman writes from where she is. This does not necessarily mean a romantic concern with self-expression, but it does mean paying attention to her surroundings-natural, social, political. It especially includes paying attention to the language used by other people. The accuracy and clarity of what she aims for is not some objective truth, but it is what is truthful for her, to her perception and understanding. "This is a world wonderfully changed by Rosemary Huisman's fine observation, playful intelligence and true feeling. Her poetry gives us what we need: it helps us recognise ourselves even as it constantly surprises us. A pleasure to read-and read again." - Noel Rowe "I felt a great admiration for how much of the world is lucidly present in Huisman's poetry. Places, characters and remembrances are all made vital and rich in these clear, shapely poems. Her clean approaches and her incisive, guiding voice make her a poet of power and authority. The delicacy and poise of her language is a delight, and her range of interests makes this a dynamic collection. Huisman's poems leap with life." - Judith Beveridge

Imagining Winter
Harsh. Cutting. Uncomfortably touching. This poetry collection delves into the darkness of the modern world. Dawsons work has tremendous scope and agility. In the title poem, in a single breath he ranges from the Renaissance to postmodern sunsets in trying to imagine a metaphor for winter: Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Stars squint and ...

Gifts, Talents and Education assumes a capability approac...
The Diggings Are Silent
Award-winning journalist Wendy Evans makes the transition from fact to fiction in this long-awaited collection of short stories. Her incisive wit made her a popular columnist in Perth, and now turns over the dust in many corners of Australia. The poet stirs the senses, the dramatist tears the emotions, the satirist pokes fun at beloved institutions. In the tradition of storytellers like Henry Lawson, there is great warmth and true compassion. Here, too, is a dark side, and a creative imagination which takes the reader to some very strange places. This is a polished collection of well-constructed, lively short stories, brought to life by skilfully developed characters and their amusing banter. - Morag Kobez-Halvorson The stories have an intrinsically Australian character with wide appeal. The author sometimes gives you a wink at the end to leave a smile on your face. While there are serious and heart-rending moments, I found myself laughing aloud on many occasions, a great tonic for our troubled times. - Sara Moss
