Do Not Erase
A photographic exploration of mathematicians’ chalkboards “A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns,” wrote the British mathematician G. H. Hardy. In Do Not Erase, photographer Jessica Wynne presents remarkable examples of this idea through images of mathematicians’ chalkboards.

The photographs are accompanied by essays from each math...
Locked in
"When a body is found in a locked house, Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel is left to not only find the killer but discover how they got in and out.

With the winter chill setting in and parents looking for answers, Jessica must find out who has been watching local children, and how this connects to a case that has been unsolved for fourteen years.
The Hunter Anthology of Contemporary Australian Feminist Poetry
"Australia has a rich history of feminist poetry but there is no one kind of feminist voice. The seventy new poems commissioned for this anthology demonstrate a complexity of social, political, and cultural visions. Contemporary Australian Feminist Poetryis united by the shared effort to shape 'responsible writing' on everyday subject matter- family, fear, dreams, love, literary inheritance, the body, power, fun, pain, metaphors of self. Each of these poems cut its own path through language. Together, their politics are restless, inextricably tied to the now."
