soft meteorites
When assembling my work, I assembled myself, laid out on an autopsy table (of sorts). And soft meteorites presented itself as three themes – art, death, and friendship. In soft meteorites Nathan Shepherdson has installed a type of two-way valve that attaches the page to the flesh. Moments are emptied of words then refilled with fresh observations. The pulse quietly excludes standard angles for a free-form geometry that collects spiralling perspectives. He sings inside the silence he listens to. Meditations are a material. Sometimes lean and elegant, almost emaciated. At other times the complexities compound themselves under lingua-thermal pressure, moving very fast, jumping ship like a sai...

An Absence of Saints
A circle of vermillion flares into petals of yellow and white. These coloured tesserae, a contrast to the dull sea of roof tiles below. A train rattles in the distance and then Rapallo fades from my memory. At the heart of this exciting debut collection is the impulse to explore: family history in Europe, migration to Australia, the contours of memory and desire. Exquisite lyric and deft narrative illuminate historys mosaics and brilliant shards of lost time. 'A poetry of evocation - of time, distance and intimacy - where actions are refracted through objects and emotions coalesce in the lacunae of the commonplace.' - Louis Armand. 'Licari has a magical ability to respond to - and then express - the essential strangeness, not only of objects and places but of our experience of life itself.' - Martin Duwell.
How to Knit a Human
I want to know what it was like to have crossed into the realm of madness. After all, I did it. I went mad. Why can’t I have the secret knowledge that comes with it? How do you write a memoir when your memories have been taken? She awakens in hospital, greeted by nurses and patients she doesn’t recognise, but who address her with familiarity. She decides to untangle the clues. How to Knit a Human is Anna’s quest to find her self and her memory after experiencing psychosis and Electroconvulsive therapy in 2011, at the age of twenty-three. As the memory barriers begin to crumble, Anna weaves her experiences around the gaps of memories that are still not accessible. Anna writes and create...
Sweeping the Light Back Into the Mirror
Sweeping the Light Back Into the Mirror is an extended elegy and memorial for the poet's mother. Brief, epigamic aphorisms are contrasted with longer poems, some of which are about the commonplace aspects of a lived life: old shoes, the family stove, handwritten letters, and some of which move resolutely into elegiac record.
Someone's Universe
SOMEONE'S UNIVERSE: THE ART OF EUGENE CARCHESIO is a focused survey of work by the leading Queensland contemporary artist, Eugene Carchesio. Known for his repeated use of particular images and patterns, his work has an overall sense of rhythm and composition which echoes his keen interest in music.

Meanjin Vol 80, No 2
'The world knows that the Australian immigration process is very tough.' In the magazine's cover feature Still Lives, five people now resident in Australia and New Zealand tell in vivid first-hand accounts the stories of lives stilled by statelessness or detention, and lives settled in a new home and a sense of belonging. Their stories are matched with luscious images by artist Sarah Walker. Anna Spargo-Ryan looks at recent cases of sexual harassment and violence in and around the national parliament and concludes 'This government cannot deliver action on sexual violence. They have told us to our faces: they simply do not understand how.' Mark Pesce considers the recent battles between the A...
Aria
Sarah Holland-Batt's Aria, winner of the 2007 Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize, is a striking debut. Like piano music heard through a high window, the language is haunting but entirely of this world. The poems are awake to the dark constellations of art and history, to what momentarily is, and to what flows endlessly on. 'Aria is one of the most exciting first books of poems I've read in years. The voice is assured, the syntax a live wire. These poems demand attention, and after many readings they are still working their magic. A first book over brimming with pure imagination and craft.' - ANTHONY LAWRENCE.
