The Shadows of Horses
In The Shadows of Horses, Mike Keenan shares the inside story of what life is like on the land for today's farmers - the isolation, the agony of drought and the uncertainty about the future. Mike's first book, The Horses too are Gone, only told a small part of his personal story. Now, through his memoir of growing up on the family property, My all Plains, and later running it, he explores many aspects of the Australian bush and its way of life that are so close to his heart, along the way telling some terrific bush yarns as well as hair-raising anecdotes from his years on the bush racing circuit. Ultimately this book is about Mike's own passion for - and despair over - life on the land, but he also speaks for every farmer who is doing it tough.
Don't Ever Quit
When Mike Keenan entered his 40s, he thought that his life was on cruise control. Married with two children, two cars and a house with a mortgage that was almost paid off, he enjoyed teaching and four successive terms of public office, which led to organizing the 1984 Niagara Regional Rally for soon-to-be-elected Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.However, when both parents died, their mortality provoked a mid-life crisis that forced him to re-examine his life and confront his past. As an adolescent, for five formative years, he survived Regent Park, Toronto's dangerous, inner city ghetto. He attended the University of Western Ontario, where he suffered from depression. Nevertheless, he played on...
The Horses Too Are Gone
The true story of Michael Keenan's struggle to survive against mounting odds, and an action-packed adventure that rivals any fiction. The drought had reached crisis point. Cattle farmer Mike Keenan decided there was only one solution: he would have to get his starving cattle - and his beloved horses - to greener pastures north of the border. But when he finally got there he found his troubles had only just begun. South-west Queensland seemed like a modern-day Wild West, and as Keenan moved his cattle along the traditional droving routes in search of long-term pasture, he had to match wits with a host of characters - as well as Nature herself. Mike Keenan writes with a deep passion and knowledge of Australian life on the land, tinged with a sadness and nostalgia for a way of life that is under threat. The Horses Too Are Gone will strike a chord with all Australians.

Wild Horses Don't Swim
The author of the bestselling The Horses Too Are Gone takes us on another unforgettable adventure. Australian farmer Mike Keenan's first book - a true story of battling drought to save his cattle and his farm - touched a chord with Australian readers. Now Mike takes us into the magnificent wilderness of the west Kimberley, in a personal quest to highlight the problems of this beautiful but troubled region. Mike's involvement with the area began when he learned of plans to dam the lifeblood of the region, the Fitzroy River - the last great river still flowing freely to the sea - to provide water for cotton-growing on the plains below. It was horrific news: a dam on the Fitzroy would cause an ...

Translations on Waking in an Italian Cemetery
Michael Keenan's poems illuminate that 'other world, inside this one.' Wearing line breaks to score your heart beat by, these poems limn the phantasmagoric backstreets till dawn, never settling for the comfort of the nihilist's pose. "Etched, fragrant, dark" his sound is original and played with a cutthroat dreamer's intensity. Listen for the shiver, look out for the shiv. --John Duvernoy,author of Something in the way// Obstruction Blues
