sun memos

By Ziggy Alberts

A poetic outpour by Australian independent singer-songwriter, Ziggy Alberts. sun memos is the second self-published poetry book by Alberts which differentiates from his lyrical work as an introspective look behind the mind of the musician on the road and at home. Featuring his signature environmental metaphors, sun memos, like his debut book, brainwaves, is split into four parts and allows readers to join him on a journey of personal realisations and acts as an invitation to enter a vulnerable relationship between the writer and the reader within the pages of his prose. sun memos were brought to life amongst the relative chaos of Ziggy Alberts’ extensive touring the world.

Johnny James and Other Verses

By Dave Morrell

Since moving to a remote cattle station in Western Australia's far north-west as a young child, the red dirt of the Kimberley has coloured Dave Morrell's blood and filled his life with adventure. This collection of his bush poetry and memoirs portrays a raw and untold history of his home. Often with humour and sometimes full of emotion, Dave combines his own recollections of life in the outback with stories of white colonisation, Aboriginal displacement and tight-knit community bonds. Herein, through poetry and prose, Dave shines light on the immeasurable good of this remote community, as well as the darkness that lurks, often unspoken, on the edges of its history. These are stories of the real Kimberley, by the Broome vet Dave Morrell.

Aussie Flavoured Rhyming Verse

By Murray Hartin

Key Sales Points:

* Murray Hartin is a well known poet and Australian personality, his poetry is well loved and received, particularly in regional areas.

*This latest collection of Murrays poems comes in the perfect pocket- or gift-sized format.

* Includes his most famous poems Rain From Nowhere and Turbulence.

* Coverage and extracts in News Ltd and Fairfax publications, ABC and Nine Media.

A couple of poems to spruik in Turbulence, arguably the most popular poem of the past 20 years. Mentioned in Time Magazine and basically printed in nearly every newspaper and magazine around Australia. Alan’s foreword really pushes the angle of getting young Australians connected with poetry and the need for this to be in schools. The poem ‘Spirit’ which sparks National pride in both young and old Australians. It’s a fairly powerful piece.

This is not a book you read once and toss in the cupboard. This book will become dog-eared and tattered as your re-read it and pass it around. It’s your go-to book to get a great big taste of Australia. And with Muz’s poetry the flavour is always spot on.

Fair Crack of the Whip

By Murray Hartin

Murray ‘Muz’ Hartin has collated the best of his heart-warming and hilarious yarns and ripper poems for everyone to enjoy in Fair Crack of the Whip, a collection of totally Aussie, characterfilled stories told with a mega -watt lightning bolt of energy.

His poems have long been a source of entertainment for people young and old and from all walks of life. His hilarious yarn Turbulence, about his late, great mate Billy Hayes is arguably the most popular Aussie poem in the post-Paterson era while the haunting Rain From Nowhere, an empathic insight into the life of a struggling farmer, was described in TIME Magazine as ‘A celebration of resilience and hope, it is as moving a piece of Australian verse as has been published in decades’.

Murray Hartin’s rhyming style of verse is directly influenced by the poems of Banjo Paterson and his Moree Primary School teacher Paul Lawler.

Plus a stack of crazy mates and a heap of wonderful characters who provide the inspiration for his verse.

Muz – he’ll make you laugh, he’ll make you cry and he’ll give you a great big taste of Australia.

The creativity she had kept buried inside all her life birthed out with her daughter, and now her words are taking on a life of their own. Just Give Me The Pills is yet another brilliant novel-in-verse and this special illustrated edition includes drawings by Koraly’s daughter.

Near-Life Experience

By Rowland Bagnall

The poems in Near-Life Experience are curious about the present moment, its weather and animals, its objects and things. They want to make it real in language, catching it before it vanishes. Documenting landscapes, paintings, insects and trees, Near-Life Experience offers a world where understanding is subverted by the day’s distractions and the unexpected shapes of the imagination. How do I relate to this? What does it mean? What’s happening, exactly? Does experience, experience me? With descriptive precision and inventiveness, the poet finds humour and panic at the edges of the actual. The poems measure expanding and contracting times, birthdays, seasons, climate breakdown, witnessing the moment and its ‘sheer/ongoing changes’.

The Iron Bridge

By Rebecca Hurst

Rebecca Hursts first collection bridges memory and observation, noting the detail of the natural world and our changing relation to it. The books places are made familiar by walking. It encounters other worlds alive with new and recovered ideas and images – from the folk traditions of her Sussex childhood, to archival encounters with a nineteenth-century nurse-explorer, and her undergraduate training as a Kremlinologist. Her language is deeply rooted, as keenly aware of etymologies as of history. Shaped by myth, history and desire, the poems of The Iron Bridge are theatrical, fierce, music-infused.

The Silence

By Gillian Clarke

A Poetry Book Society Spring Recommendation 2024. The poems in Gillian Clarkes The Silence begin during lockdown, to whose silences Clarke listens so attentively that other voices emerge. As the book progresses, that silence deepens, in the poems about her mother and childhood, about the Great War and its aftermaths, and in her continuing attention to Welsh places and names, and the rituals which make that world come in to focus. In these scrupulous, musical poems, Clarke finds consolation in how silence makes room for memory and for the company of the animal- and bird-life which surrounds us. These poems, compulsively returning to key images and formative moments, echo and bring back other ways of living to the books present moment.

A Poetry Book Society Spring Recommendation 2024. In Isabel Galleymores second collection, the adorable other is not just an imagined future child, but also a tree frog, a weather-worn statue and often the speaker herself, who dreams of quitting adulthood and an endangered world. Mother Earth is less an entity to be revered than a command to care-giving. Lyrics and syllabically-constrained fables examine the play and power involved in creating new life, whether biologically or via cartoonists animation. Galleymore hones in on cuteness and its relationships to hyper-capitalism and environmental crisis to produce a deliberately queasy ecopoetics. Animal extinctions are likened to failed businesses and sainthood is granted to a dubious character named Michael Mouse.
