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.
The Elsewhere Variations
Born of the poetry wars of inner Melbourne An explosive story - of twisted mentalities and lost souls 'Irresistible. Compelling' - Millie Dickens an arc of fugitive players cast across Australia and the capitals of Europe, the US, Asia The Elsewhere Variations is a series of poems by Peter Bakowski and Ken Bolton in which themes develop, are abandoned, resurface, where poems answer, continue or oppose each other. The usual thrills of collaborative projects. But these are unusual and will get attention just on that basis - and they are variously funny, mysterious, and occasionally moving. There are eight sets of six: forty-eight poems. They begin with a lightly fictionalised account of the poetry wars of inner Melbourne - but from there they undertake a survey of human happiness, ambition and acceptance.

The Passenger
The Passenger is a collection of poems that shows Duggan's continued interest in place and a marked tendency to memorialise; that is, a continued interest in ways of rendering the world and the world of experience as both present and as fragile. 'One of the most versatile, politically aware and entertaining poets in Australia. 'the ALS Gold Medal Judges' Report 'Duggan's technical and emotional range, his grasp of history and ability to let the record stand - all take on a richness and freshness rare in local poetry.'
Kwani?
Following and keeping close to the great tradition set by its three predecessors, Kwani? 4 presents a wail of new voices in literary concert with the not so new. The now established talents- Binyavanga Wainaina, Muthoni Garland, Doreen Baingana- share these pages with the fast risers: Billy Kahora, Mukoma wa Ngugi and Shalini Gidoomal. And Kwani? 4 has delved deeper into the all those spaces where the Kenyan story lives: the street corners, the neighbourhood pubs, the in-between semi rural places where the clash of cultures- the traditional versus the modern- continues to redefine the social roles of the individual, dismantle patriarchal constructs and still retain the pithy wit and the devi...
Silence Like Another Name
The 46 poems of John Levy's stunning latest collection take us from Kyoto to Patmos, to the American southwest, from ancient memory to the 1950s to life today.
The Void
This story is an episodic adventure of a little boy into manhood. Through these pages, his lifelong journey to fulfill the unexplainable empty space inside of him is revealed.
