Here, There and Elsewhere
Here, There and Elsewhere, Vivian Smith's first new collection in five years, may well be his most personal book. Drawing on his life in Hobart and Sydney, travels in Europe and South America and literary figures he has known or written about, the poems refer to present day politics as well as past events, and wonder what the future holds for our country. They explore the Ern Malley affair, from the perspective of the perpetrators of the hoax, offer postcards from Capri, and snapshots of urban life, alongside extended autobiographical prose poems, all quietly-spoken, but packing a surprising punch.
Selected Poems
Selected Poems is an important collection of 98 poems from an acclaimed Australian poet. Exploring the beautiful Tasmanian landscape of Smith's childhood alongside its colonial history this is a must-read collection and a vital piece of Australian literary history.
Along the Line
Filled with precise observation of the interior and exterior world, as well as lashings of wit, Smith's wide-ranging, often poignant lyrics take us on tour through history, ideas, people and places. He is the perfect travel companion in a sortie of the century and its cultural outputs - as well as its detritus, cast-offs, conflict and ephemera. This perfectly weighted collection offers us pleasure, wisdom and redress.

Delhi
Ronald Vivian Smith is an author of personal experiences – a rare breed to find in a time when even journalists hesitate to put pen to paper without scanning through the internet. A definitive voice when it comes to some known and unknown tales and an inspiration to a new generation of city-scribes, Smith is a master-chronicler of Delhi’s myriad realities. Among the capital’s most ardent lovers, Smith believes in the power of observation and interaction. His travels across Delhi, most often in a DTC bus, examine the big and small curiosities – seamlessly juxtaposing the past with the present. Be it the pride he encounters in the hutments of one of Chandni Chowk’s age-old beggar fam...
