Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
This is an innovative project continuing and developing the collaborative relationship between two fine poets, juxtaposing tanka in diary form.
Rays of Light
'Stephen Matthews's initiative in establishing Ginninderra Press has made a significant contribution to contemporary Australian literature, providing welcome opportunities for both emerging and established writers. Matthews's dedication and passion are the lifeblood of this unique independent publishing house, which had its beginnings in a spare room of his Canberra home twenty years ago. Now firmly based in South Australia at Port Adelaide, Ginninderra Press has published hundreds of writers of both adult fiction and non-fiction. It has launched many poets in an innovative variety of formats, and its authors have garnered an impressive number of awards. In this celebratory volume, Rays of Light: Ginninderra Press - the first 20 years, nine essays by GP authors give an insight into its raison d'Etre, its achievements and its founder, and express their gratitude for the opportunities Ginninderra Press has given them to fulfil their writing aspirations.' - Christobel Mattingley AM

Reading by Numbers
'Reading by Numbers: Recalibrating the Literary Field' is the first book to use digital humanities strategies to integrate the scope and methods of book and publishing history with issues and debates in literary studies. By mining, visualising and modelling data from 'AustLit' - an online bibliography of Australian literature that leads the world in its comprehensiveness and scope - this study revises established conceptions of Australian literary history, presenting new ways of writing about literature and publishing and a new direction for digital humanities research. The case studies in this book offer insight into a wide range of features of the literary field, including trends and cycles in the gender of novelists, the formation of fictional genres and literary canons, and the relationship of Australian literature to other national literatures.
Just Off Message
From the ashes of the Penguin Australia Poetry Series, a new publishing house took wing. New and emerging creators, as well as established voices sought an independent publishing house with a global vision and an innovative approach. They found IP. Now, 20 years on, more than forty creators return to celebrate the survival of this maverick venture with the very best of work past, current and future. Their message to you is that independent publishing houses like IP are, and always will be, an essential part of the cultural landscape even in the face of globalisation and aspiring robots. Who are these daring writers whose work is Just off Message? You know how to find them.

The Verse Novel
In these thirty-five interviews with verse novelists from Australia and Aotearoa–New Zealand, Linda Weste explores the uniqueness of storytelling through poetry and the genre of the verse novel. Her subjects are notable representatives of a region where verse novels for Adults, Children and Young Adults thrive; among them is Steven Herrick, winner of the prestigious Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis in 2019; and what they have to say enriches our understanding of the verse novel across each of its publishing categories.
New Directions in Contemporary Australian Poetry
This book sets out to navigate questions of the future of Australian poetry. Deliberately designed as a dialogue between poets, each of the four clusters presented here—“Indigeneities”; “Political Landscapes”; “Space, Place, Materiality”; “Revising an Australian Mythos”—models how poetic communities in Australia continue to grow in alliance toward certain constellated ideas. Exploring the ethics of creative production in a place that continues to position capital over culture, property over community, each of the twenty essays in this anthology takes the subject of Australian poetry definitively beyond Eurocentrism and white privilege. By pushing back against nationalizing mythologies that have, over the last 200 years since colonization, not only narrativized the logic of instrumentalization but rendered our lands precarious, this book asserts new possibilities of creative responsiveness within the Australian sensorium.
