Bloody Bastard Beautiful
The frank and hilarious account of an immigrant girl who follows her German lover to Darwin. Adventurous, love-able and laughable, Mocco captures the heat and vibrance of Darwin and its larrikins, in a decade where the Territory makes its own rules.
Black Books Publishing
PhD student Dylan Cashew abandons his thesis on D. H. Lawrence for the uncertain world of top secret aerospace editing, college teaching and then independent publishing. Dogged and even mentored by Lawrence and others from parallel Dimensions, Dylan finds himself immersed in a publishing venture that, with aid of his PR-savvy wife, interjections from the Internet, and a bottomless supply of scotch, nearly goes under before he receives an offer from a Chinese conglomerate that may be too good to refuse. If you’re an author, published or unpublished, or wished you were one – or someone who’s worked in publishing, or wished you could – this book is for you. (Have we missed anyone?!) This is David P Reiter’s latest sortie into the satiricsphere of digital narrative. His having won two Western Australian Premier’s Awards with Timelord Dreaming and My Planets Reunion Memoir has done nothing to curb his rash flirtation with innovation. Nearly 200 “internet call-outs” will tempt you away from the central storyline. Can you resist?
Liquefaction
Poetry. Landscapes are created and figures emerge from those landscapes to inhabit them. They are meant to grow from inside and surface gradually. The life-force of the poems--the images, impressions, the archetypal moments -- are left to sink even deeper into the unconsciousness. Each poem has its own theme, meaning, relevancy for being. Each needs to be approached as one would approach a window--not to look out of and see the rotations of life, but to look in, as if one were peering into new spatial worlds. Once read, I would want the reader to walk away and reflect on a poem, then I would expect them to return for more. As a collection, each poem is a story. Whenever I read them, I stand at the window too. I stare in and continue to see new things that weren't there before. The landscape keeps changing. Hopefully the reader will feel "a definite sense of place in every poem, even when positions shift and people transform".
Wings of the Same Bird
Poetry. Winner of the 2009 Interactive Publications Picks Best Poetry Award. WINGS OF THE SAME BIRD is an impressive collection grown from the mythological idea linking birds and the human world with divine realms just beyond ordinary experience. The poems connect birds with the journey of the human soul after death, representing them as primeval, cosmic, legendary, as messengers of the deities, symbols of war, death and misfortune, but also as profound harbingers of strength, love and wisdom. The poetry collection also handles grief from an objective, elevated and (excuse the pun) "bird's eye" perspective.
Stepping Over Seasons
Stepping Over Seasons artfully depicts the finer details of life, encapsulating change within people and places as the seasons unfurl. In 'Overlook', Capes argues that it's much easier for great poets to romanticise the world's most classic cities by poetically and playfully ridiculing his own not-so-romantic Australian hometown. Asserting that, in this digital age, everything can be recorded in some way, the poem 'Late Night' claims there is no longer a need for people to appreciate things "in the moment." The poem 'Leaking' describes the love seeping out of two people with the momentum of a leaking tap.
A Beginner's Guide to Dying in India
While confronted with mounting grief and loss in Australia, Levi is suddenly called to India by his brother and delves, though somewhat reluctantly, into the shifting sands of his own spirituality. In fulfilling his dying brother's wishes, Levi embarks on a path intersecting with adventure, new found friends, a treasure trove of riches (and not just the material kind.
Death and the Motorway
A long-awaited collection from the much-admired editor of the fourW anthologies, DEATH AND THE MOTORWAY traverses intimate and intellectual ground here and abroad with surety and insight. Several poems deal with David's experiences of life in Japan and the tensions between a busy academic life and the urge to create poetry.
