Accidental Grace
No Marketing Blurb
Hook and Eye
One of Australia's most acclaimed and accomplished poets, Judith Beveridge combines an intensity and clarity of vision with an unsurpassed fineness of language. Tender and even affectionate, Beveridge’s poems model the interaction of spirituality, the natural world, and selfhood. The third in Braziller's Series of Australian Poets, Judith Beveridge engages the world in ways that open up larger perspectives and deeper understandings. As the critic Clive James notes, Beveridge’s work displays “unfailing dignity of movement and quiet splendour.” Whether in relation to the natural world around us or to our inner world of intellect and emotion, Beveridge’s poems call us to account, exalting our capacity for knowledge and insisting upon the pleasures—and responsibilities—of attentiveness.

The Domesticity of Giraffes
The Domesticity of Giraffes, Judith Beveridge's first book, was one of the most widely read poetry volumes of the 1990s. First published in 1987 by Black Lightning Press, it won the Dame Mary Gilmore Award, the New South Wales Premier's Poetry Prize, and the Victorian Premier's Poetry Prize; remarkable accolades for a debut collection. Poems from this book were popular on high school curricula for many years, and some are still used in schools. Judith's subsequent books include Accidental Grace (UQP, 1996) and Wolf Notes (Giramondo, 2003), which have between them garnered the Judith Wright Calanthe Award for Poetry and a second Victorian Premier's Award. Judith has also received the Philip Hodgins Award for excellence in literature (2005).
New Leaves Writing Project
From Jill Gordon's Afterword, This anthology grew from some simple questions we asked about people who have had a serious illness, or have cared for others who are ill: Are there any health benefits to be had from writing poetry? Can writing help to make sense of life experiences? And importantly: What if a gifted writer and teacher were available to help?
Sun Music
Judith Beveridge is one of Australia most acclaimedpoets, taught in high schools and universities, winner of the NSW and VictorianPremiers' Awards, a highly regarded critic, editor and teacher of poetry SunMusic is a definitive edition of her best-knownand most important poems Sun Music collectsBeveridge's best poems published over a thirty-year period, from 1987 to 2017. Shehas selected the poems from her award-winning collections, The Domesticity of Giraffes, Accidental Grace, Wolf Notes and Storm and Honey, and included 33 newpoems which build on and enhance her previous work. Beveridge is an exactingpoet, precise and controlled, and her formal discipline gives added intensityto her expression of emotion. The combination of clarity and dramatic force,involving a supple use of language which registers the ebb and flow of feeling,makes her poetry immediately appealing and accessible. As she notes in herintroduction to this collection, 'My writing can be kaleidoscopic, oftenbaroque, but I hope also grounded and focused...I am drawn to poetry that hasrich texture, and by this, I mean poetry that is distinctly metaphorical,detailed, musically complex, but also clear.'
Wolf Notes
Award winning poetry from one of Australia's most gifted writers. A must for all good bookstores.
Here Not There
This anthology, Here Not There, follows the successful 2010 volume, Wording the World, which published student writers from Avondale College alongside established Australian poets. Again, the result is a fresh and innovative book which gives the student poets the opportunity to see their work within a broader context and to feel included within a wider family of poets. Whether a poet is new or established, they will surely have a common goal: to give voice to human feelings and experiences. This anthology provides a forum for a sharing and exchange of ideas and approaches, for the new poets to test their own poems against the work of obvious masters, and for the established poets to hear young voices. Any reader coming to this volume will be struck by its cohesion and diversity - the common experiences that our humanity provides for us, and the varieties of expression that our imaginations and language enable us to explore. - Judith Beveridge

A Way of Happening
This engaging collection charts a wild ride. In the process, THE RINGING WORLD unflinchingly confronts joys and losses as well as exploring more everyday preoccupations. The writing is at times provocative and sensual, at others slyly meditative, but always fearless, compressed, precise.
