Let Me Show You a Ripple by Kristen Lang

 

Let Me Show You a Ripple by Kristen Lang 

Let Me Show You a Ripple is a collection of poems and colour photographs on the beauty of small moments. Startling for its honesty and its detail, the book breaks the surface of our normal routines. Sadness is acknowledged, but also beauty and joy. Amid confusion, there is also hope. The book offers time, the deep time of poetry and the held time of photography, in which small qualities are allowed to take over, to unravel, to be breathed in and considered.

Novel in Verse


A Promise of Peaches by Valerie Volk

 

A Promise of Peaches by Valerie Volk 

It was an act of simple kindness for an Australian couple to take two Czech refugees from post World War II Europe into their working-class home. They could never have foreseen the tensions these sophisticated Europeans would create, or the life-changing impact they would have on their teenage daughter. This novel in verse explores sympathetically the culture clashes of 1950s immigration and the unfolding of adolescent sexuality.

In Due Season: Poems of love and loss by Valerie Volk

 

In Due Season: Poems of love and loss by Valerie Volk

‘No matter our colour or creed, our intellect or status, grief will level, humble and unite us. Yet in our holding of the pain and the love in the same moment we have the potential to be transformed. Valerie Volk in her poems of grief offers a voice to the strange confusion that confronts each of us. That is her gift.’ Judith Murray, School of Psychology, University of Queensland

Now his grandson, Stephen Whiteside (also a rhyming poet), has published Arthur Dean’s poems for the first time.

Against All Odds. The verse, ballads and prose poetry of K J Sheerin

In his poetry, Ken draws inspiration from his travels and memories. Some of the pieces in this collection reflect family or attachments, others his unique take on things, observations or just pure flights of fantasy. Some too, may be as simple as memories of walking his beloved dog ‘Molly’.

Coast Lines by the Coast Lines Poets

 

 

 

Coast Lines by the Coast Lines Poets

This is an exciting collection. There’s nothing settled about it – no definitive creations by famous poets. This is intriguing work forged in the give-and-take crucible of heady discussions among a group of poets, some already published, others new to this exacting craft. The Coast Lines poets have all been meeting regularly to polish their work in congenial mutual criticism. The results are fresh, stimulating, often highly creative, sometimes raw, but never, never dull. If there’s one single book that gives an insight into what’s going on at the grassroots of Australian poetry, and shows that the future is healthy, this is it. (Dr Ian Marshall, Melbourne writer and critic.)
