Here are collage poems with a confessional impulse, short short stories, late surrealist couplets, poems that weave satire and lyric together, fragmentary essays in epistles, metaphysical pastorals, epic narratives glimpsed through keyhole lyrics, and lyrics that explode the idea of what a lyric can say, and be.’ —Lisa Gorton This engaging collection presents the outstanding Australian poems of the last year – a fascinating array of voices and styles, subjects and moods. Including many of Australia’s most admired literary figures as well as exciting newcomers, The Best Australian Poems 2013 celebrates the wonder and diversity of language.

The Best Australian Stories 2012 by Sonya Hartnett Pdf

These stories are breath-takers, the ones which render nothing more important than discovering what happens next. -Sonya Hartnett The Best Australian Stories 2012 is the country's premier annual collection of short fiction. This year sees Sonya Hartnett select thirty-two remarkable stories that roam widely in subject and style, but share "a delicate complexity and a vibrant cleverness." A travelling scout for a modern-day freak show meets a girl with a strange and wonderful gift. A winning lottery ticket tests the bonds of three mismatched siblings. A beast of burden offers an alternative account of Australian settlement. There is dark humour, stealthy and unsettling, and moments of terror, whimsy, romance and surprise. What unites them is a steadfast commitment to the storyteller's art - the art of making the reader want to turn the page. 'Almost all the stories curated by Hartnett were new to me and reading them was a treat ... As with the poems, this outstanding collection confirms the robust health of the Australian short story.' -the Australian 'You'd be hard to please if you found nothing in this collection to make you want to linger and relish what you'd discovered.' -Sydney Morning Herald Sonya Hartnett is the internationally acclaimed author of several novels. In 2003, her adult novel, Of a Boy, won the Age Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award.

Ladylike by Kate Lilley Pdf

Kate Lilley has an impressive literary heritage (her mother is Dorothy Hewett) and is regarded as an outstanding poet in her own right. Ladylike is Lilley's second volume of poetry, much awaited after her 2002 debut Versary (Salt Publishing). She mines the areas of her scholarly specialization - the early modern period, as well as contemporary popular culture - and matches these with some of the 20th century's enduring interests, such as psychoanalysis and the figure of Sigmund Freud. At all times, Lilley applies her sardonic humor and mischievous word play to make her dazzling poems.

The State of the Art by David Lehman Pdf

The acclaimed annual, The Best American Poetry, is the most prestigious showcase of new poetry in the United States and Canada. Each year since the series began in 1988, David Lehman has contributed a foreword, and this has evolved into a sort of state-of-the-art address that surveys new developments and explores various matters facing poets and their readers today. This book collects all twenty-nine forewords (including the two written for the retrospective “Best of the Best” volumes for the tenth and twenty-fifth anniversaries.) Beginning with a new introduction by Lehman and a foreword by poet Denise Duhamel (guest editor for The Best American Poetry 2013), the collection conveys a sense of American poetry in the making, year by year, over the course of a quarter of a century.
