| dorothea mackellar my country poem: My Country, Africa Andrée Blouin, 2025-01-07 Andre Blouin-once called the most dangerous woman in Africa-played a leading role in the struggles for decolonization that shook the continent in the 1950s and '60s, advising the postcolonial leaders of Algeria, both Congos, Ivory Coast, Mali, Guinea, and Ghana. In this autobiography, Blouin retraces her remarkable journey as an African revolutionary. Born in French Equatorial Africa and abandoned at the age of three, she endured years of neglect and abuse in a colonial orphanage, which she escaped after being forced by nuns into an arranged marriage at fifteen. She later became radicalized by the death of her two-year-old son, who was denied malaria medication by French officials because he was one-quarter African. In Guinea, where Blouin was active in Skou Tour's campaign for independence, she came into contact with leaders of the liberation movement in the Belgian Congo. Blouin witnessed the Congolese tragedy up close as an adviser to Patrice Lumumba, whose arrest and assassination she narrates in unforgettable detail. Blouin offers a sweeping survey of pan-African nationalism, capturing the intricacies of revolutionary diplomacy, comradeship, and betrayal. Alongside intimate portraits of the movement's leaders, Blouin provides insights into the often-overlooked contribution of African women in the struggle for independence. |

| dorothea mackellar my country poem: Blakwork , 2018 A stunning mix of memoir, reportage, fiction, satire, and critique choreographed by one of Australia's most exciting new poets. Alison Whittaker's BLAKWORK is a powerful collection from which two things emerge; an incomprehensible loss, and the poet's fearless examination of the present. The pieces in BLAKWORK range from the political, seething with intelligent anger, to the personal, tenderly exploring ways humans are connected. Whittaker is unsparing in the interrogation of familiar ideas- identifying and dissolving them with idiosyncratic imagery, layering them to form new connections, and leaving us with something impossibly more than we started with. This is the voice of a poet coming into their own, using a variety of inventive forms to create a resonance that is felt long after the page is closed. |
| dorothea mackellar my country poem: Self Translation Ouyang Yu, 2012-08-01 Poems first written in Chinese but now presented in both Chinese and English, Self Translation is arguably Ouyang Yu’s most lyrical and resonant collection of poetry to date. The verse inhabits China and Australia in spirit and the natural world in both nations. Mellow and beautiful, yet questioning of the author’s own experience of moving between cultures, these are poems that provide a perfect companion to Ouyang’s award-winning novel The English Class. They feel at once Chinese and Australian in the intuitive and often indefinable elements that provide a path between two places. |

Tom Weir became a household name in Scotland as a result of the television series in which he explored his native country, but the book 'Weir's Way' is, to quote the author, 'not about every e;Weir's Waye; programme ... it is a broader vision of Scotland using the medium of written words'. |

| dorothea mackellar my country poem: Early Poems, 1935-1955 Octavio Paz, 1973 The growth of the work of Octavio Paz, writes Muriel Rukeyser in her preface to this bilingual selection of the Mexican poet's Early Poems, has made clear to an audience in many languages what was evident from the beginning ... he is a great poet, a world-poet whom we need. The poems here speak--as does all his work since--deeply, erotically, with grave and passionate involvement. In this, a much revised edition of the earlier Selected Poems (Indiana University Press, 1963), Miss Rukeyser has joined to her own translations those of Paul Blackburn, Lysander Kemp, Denise Levertov, and William Carlos Williams, while many of the readings embody Paz's own revisions of the original texts. The poems were chosen from eight separate collections, among them Condición de nube (Phase of Cloud), Semillas para un himno (Seeds for a Psalm), Piedras sueltas (Riprap), and Estación violenta (Violent Season). |

| dorothea mackellar my country poem: Hey True Blue John Williamson, 2014-07-23 The long-awaited life story of John Williamson: an Australian icon, a much-loved legend of the music industry and man of the land. The joy after all is in the journey, or being what you really wanna be . . . The son of a wheat farmer, John Williamson grew up with an appreciation of the land and all things Australian. His career was kickstarted with a self-proclaimed silly song – 'Old Man Emu' – winning TV's New Faces in 1970, but it was a decade of hard slog before he forged his unique place in our musical history. From his love of the bush ('Mallee Boy') and his outrage at environmental destruction ('Rip Rip Woodchip'), to his pride in the Australian character and spirit ('True Blue'), Williamson has been chronicling the subjects and issues that are close to his heart for more than forty years. He has become the voice of Australia, performing his unofficial anthems at all the major events. In his distinctive Aussie style, John Williamson tells it like it is. He takes us behind the scenes on the road and at home, revealing the tough times, the great times, what drives him and what matters. His passion – for preserving our national character and landscape, and to remain true to himself – is as strong now as it has ever been. This is a journey into the heart and soul of Australia. |
