  the poems of dorothea mackellar: 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.

  the poems of dorothea mackellar: Good for the Soul Toby Davidson, 2021-02 In his first days as Prime Minister, John Curtin presented himself to the press as a self-styled intellectual who loved sport and relaxing, when he could, with a book, beach walk, game of cards or fossick in the garden. He also revealed that he enjoyed poetry so much that he held to a Sunday night poetry ritual. Curtin was Australia's third wartime Prime Minister, Labor's eighth Prime Minister, and the first Prime Minister from a Western Australian electorate. 'Toby Davidson reveals a new perspective on John Curtin: the poetry of his times, and the poems he himself read. As Davidson shows, Curtin's poetry reading and his reflections upon it influenced his thoughts and language from his socialist youth to the last days of his leadership of a nation transformed by global peril. Good for the Soul: John Curtin's Life with Poetry is a unique, patiently researched and fascinating re-evaluation of Australia's revered wartime Prime Minister.' - John Edwards, author of John Curtin's War Volume I & II 'A stunningly comprehensive account which shows a side of John Curtin we have only glimpsed before. Davidson skilfully traces how poetry was Curtin's companion and ally from his humble beginnings in rural Victoria to his death in office in 1945, two months before the end of World War II.' - Professor David Black, editor of In His Own Words: John Curtin's Speeches and Writings and Friendship is a Sheltering Tree: John Curtin's Letters 1907 to 1945.
  the poems of dorothea mackellar: A Book for Kids C. J. Dennis, 2019-11-25 C.J. Dennis's 'A Book for Kids' is a classic Australian children's book that is known for its charming and whimsical poems that capture the essence of childhood. Written in a simple and playful rhyme scheme, the book is filled with relatable characters and delightful adventures that are sure to entertain young readers. Dennis's writing style reflects the Australian bush tradition and captures the spirit of the early 20th century. The book is a delightful mix of humor, imagination, and heartwarming moments that will resonate with readers of all ages. C.J. Dennis, an Australian poet and journalist, was known for his ability to capture the Australian vernacular in his writing. 'A Book for Kids' showcases his talent for storytelling and his deep affection for the Australian landscape. Dennis's own experiences growing up in rural Australia provided him with the inspiration to write this beloved book, which has stood the test of time and continues to enchant readers today. I highly recommend 'A Book for Kids' to anyone looking for a delightful collection of poems that celebrate the joys of childhood. Dennis's timeless work is a treasure trove of whimsy and imagination that will surely bring a smile to your face and warm your heart.
  the poems of dorothea mackellar: 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).

  the poems of dorothea mackellar: 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.

To cheer him up she shares her past wishes and lets him make one of his own. Behind the two big doors were more doors. Tiny inlaid ones that opened outward. Pale, shiny ones that could roll up like louvres. Burnished gold ones that moved sideways on metal grooves. There were drawers too, of all shapes and sizes. And little alcoves, spaces with no doors, that were dark and inviting.

  the poems of dorothea mackellar: The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English Lorna Sage, 1999-09-30 This Guide aims to consolidate and epitomise the re-reading of women's writing that has gone on in the last twenty-five years.

There are entries on writers, on individual texts, and on general terms, genres and movements, all printed in a single alphabetical sequence. The earliest written documents in medieval English (the visionary writings of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe) are covered in an historical - and geographical - sweep that takes us up to the present day. The book reflects the spread of literacy, the history of colonisation and the development of post-colonial cultures using and changing the English language. The entries are written by contributors from all the countries covered. The result is a work of reference with a unique feeling for the vitality, wealth and diversity of women's writing.
