Cover of Love Letters to the World
by George Genovese
Language: English
Release Date: November 10, 2016

Desire in its multifariously limpid and obscure manifestations is one of the salient themes that informs many of the poems in this collection, from the way it is experienced in its recognisably subjective forms as longing, love or intention, to the more challenging notion of its expression as artefact...

by Jayne Linke

Cover of Time Steals Softer
by George Genovese
Language: English
Release Date: March 17, 2017

The theme of time and its associated expressions of mutability, limitation and loss figures prominently in this collection.

Ecopoems

by Cassandra O'Loughlin
Language: English
Release Date: February 17, 2018

“This a stunning late debut, a memorable cache of poems of mature, quiet and numinous power that has waited a lifetime to be written. They draw their inspiration and insights from the deep earth, from the artesian well of time and memory, and map ways of connection with the land, and with the forgotten...
Cover of The Long Way Home
by John Egan
Language: English
Release Date: December 2, 2015

‘Another delightful collection of poems from John Egan. What graphic pictures he draws – one has a sense of actually being there. He is able to lead the reader into realms of imagination where the poem itself materialises into reality. I am always delighted with the Australian flavours that John...
Cover of Sleeping Alone
by Michael Thorley

by Barbara Olds
Language: English
Release Date: May 11, 2017

A trip to China in 2007 was the catalyst for this collection. Rapid changes are taking place there, yet many people are still clinging to the past. This observation led Barbara Olds to examine how our experiences colour our lives and, by inference, our souls.
