This broad selection of Australian poets begins with Kenneth Slessor, and offers a challenging view of 'early modern' poetry up until the 1960s. It also presents the decade of turmoil from 1965 to 1975 in a new light, identifying currents of energy among the young writers and balancing new reputations with old. The years from 1965 to the 1990s are revealed as a time of growing vigour and diversity.

‘...an outstanding achievement that will, with its skill and elegance, deeply enrich Australian poetry and whoever reads it.’ Judges’ citation, 2013 NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Poetry. Ali Cobby Eckermann, a Yankunytjatjara/Kokatha poet, is at the forefront of Australian Indigenous poetry. Inside My Mother is both a political and personal collection, angry and tender, propelled by the need to remember, yet brimming with energy and vitality – qualities that distinguished her previous, prize-winning verse novel, Ruby Moonlight. Tributes to country, to her elders, and to the animals and spirits that inhabit the landscape, coupled with the rhythms of mourning and celebration that pulse through the poems, make this a moving and personal collection. Grief is deeply felt and vividly portrayed in poems such as ‘Inside My Mother’ and ‘Lament’. There is defiance and protest in ‘Clapsticks’ and ‘I Tell You True’. In the final section there is a marked generational shift as the elders begin to pass away and the poet as grandmother comes to accept her rightful place as matriarch.

WhenJ.S. Harry died in 2015 she was acknowledged as one of the great female poetsof her generation, alongside Fay Zwicky, Antigone Kefala, Jennifer Maiden and JudithRodriguez. Thiscommemorative volume gathers poems from all her collections, as well as newpoems written in the last years of her life. As the use ofinitials in her writing name suggests, Jann Harry was a very private person. Shewas also gentle, kind, solicitous and endlessly curious - she would probe,enquire, pursue - everything seemed interesting to her. And she had anotherquality which was extraordinary, and which, along with her shyness andcuriosity, is such a powerful presence in her poetry: this was herattentiveness to the life of the natural world and its creatures. Her poems typicallytake a quizzical stance, which holds a strange or complex moment up to scrutiny,and then pursues its implications. Her attention is caught by the smallesteffects of nature, the delicate responses of animals - and also the gestures andwords of humans, finely observed, with a sense of the mystery or menace theycontain. The effect may be comic or surreal - or fierce, in its condemnation ofoppression. Her mastery of the poetic line - the pause, the sudden shiftin emphasis or perspective - and above all her interest in language, enhancethese effects. PeterPorter rightly declared Harry to be 'the most arresting poet working inAustralia today'. The poems included in SelectedPoems were chosen by J.S. Harry herself, and her long-time friend, the poetNicolette Stasko.

Andrew Lansdown’s latest poetry collection, Abundance, contains poems from eleven of his earlier collections and poems that are previously uncollected. These poems gain power from the poet’s mastery of poetic form and technique. They range widely in theme, tone, style, and subject—from an aboriginal man playing the digeridoo in prison to a widow addressing a prophet in Phoenicia; from kangaroos crossing a firebreak to a man asleep in a library; from the emptiness of black bamboo to the fullness of a father’s heart; from a pregnant mother dying for the faith in shogunal Japan to the poet’s mother joining an American-style sacred-harp choir in heaven. This collection offers readers an abundance.
