Lines for Birds
They follow flight paths and habitats of birds, from the Victorian Mallee to the forests of South East Asia, to Japan and the South of France. Sometimes, as the painter says, its almost as if I am looking at the earth with a birds eye view the birds suggest new ways of telling stories about the earth.
The View From Connor's Hill
Here is the captivating prequel to Well Done, Those Men, Barry Heard’s much-loved, deeply moving account of life as a Vietnam veteran. This memoir takes us back into the heart of Heard’s experiences as a boy and a young man in Australia during the 1950s and 1960s. Colourful, poignant, and often very funny, The View from Connor’s Hill reveals a young man who, among the devastation of loss and constant upheaval, celebrates the joy of living in the bush, and delights in the love of his faithful dog Rover and his headstrong horse Swanee. Capturing the detail of a lost world of country and suburban life in Australia — a world of matinees, country dances, and manual dunnies — Barry Heard delivers his memories with an unwavering honesty and candour.
Broken Song
An important, timely and compelling biography of a man possessed by two cultures, whose life in translation led to the creation of one of the great books of the world - and the accusation that he finally betrayed what was sacred.'A group of men, their heads and bodies shaking rhythmically, chanting with the enthusiasm that made them forget age & weakness & becoming young again in spirit, glowing fires ... a windbreak of boughs, a moon dripping through fleeing clouds, the rising and falling of the chant melody, like the breathing that gives us life, - what an unforgettable scene!'Thus wrote T.G.H. Strehlow in 1935, as he started out on his life work translating for his great book, SONGS OF CE...

Reasons & Lovelessness
This collection of essays, variously published in Australia, India and London, includes 'satellites' of his major works--such as Sitting In (1992), a landmark memoir in Labour History; Broken Song: TGH Strehlow and Aboriginal Possession (2002), a literary biography on Aboriginal and frontier poetics; and Peacemongers (2014), a pilgrimage book about Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi in the years leading up to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Other essays are new: 'Brecht's Song', on his working-class mother; 'Dark Star', an expansion of his meeting with Christina Stead on her 80th birthday; 'Loving Roughneck', his critical appreciation of John Berger; and 'On the Edge of the Cliff', on his private meeting with the Dalai Lama in the Blue Mountains. As has been the case with his book-length works, Hill's essays collected here are ground-breaking: freshly, deeply researched, genre-crossing, multi-disciplinary, combining the candidly personal with the philosophical.
