WAYS
Of DEATH -
Selected Poems
by Christine
Ann Kelley
From childhood
to politics, Ms. Kelley takes the reader through spells
of desperate darkness. Her second book courageously travels
through cathartic verse and providential poetry. The
book journeys through pain and sorrow, with gentle interludes
into tranquility and grace. With the potency of words
and frailty of human emotion, her poetry will lead you
into fears, elusions, and aspirations for harmony. Let
her perceptions of time and humanity pierce you with
each daring page, as she pulls flesh from bones and sings
by candlelight.

SCRUBWOOD : short
stories and poems of humour and the absurd
by Andrew Scobie
In compiling
this series of short stories, I attempted to give an
honest and accurate account of what it is like to live
in the heart of Australian multicultural society, and
the socio-economic realities that go with it - with a
great deal of tongue-in-cheek licence thrown in. It is
important to note that the first four and last four of
these stories stand apart and are not related to the
'Scrubwood' experience. Multiculturalism has become somewhat
a dirty word in Australia of late, though in contrast
to other countries, where most nations have failed, Australia
has at least succeeded to a reasonable degree in providing
a certain amount of cultural harmony. If "Scrubwood" offends
then perhaps you live in other parts of Australia or
the world where you seldom encounter such, sometimes
comical, socio-economic complexities If so, welcome to
my world.
CROSSING
PATHS :
the BookCrossing novel
by
Debbie
Robson from
Australia.
BookCrossing, a real online bookclub,
is in many ways a parallel universe. It is a place
where someone in the US may buy a book for a BookCrosser
in Australia, without the two of them ever meeting.
It is about finding books on the end of a pier, at
Paddington Station, at your favourite park and unless
you are on the site you don’t know these books
are there. People walk past them oblivious; some
pick them up briefly but then leave them behind.
BookCrossers know to catch these books to find out
where they have been, read them and then release
them.
