Meet Yaffler MacSweeny, road transport enthusiast, firewood collector and lover of Tasmanian stories: brightsouth.com.au/introducing-ya… New reviews of Kyle Perry's The Bluffs and Heather Rose's Bruny.
I'm really excited to be publishing a new selection of reviews by Yaffler MacSweeny, of Tasmanian books. First - Heather Rose, 'Bruny' and Kyle Perry, 'The Bluffs'. This is a genuine effort to promote intellectual diversity, literacy and a love of books. brightsouth.com.au/introducing-ya…
Great insights on Tim Winton's efforts at reconciling Australians with Aboriginal people and Australian space in Stephane Cordier's thesis ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/21…
Here's a new poetry review from me, on recent collections by Joanne Burns, Stephanie Green and Jane Williams, and meditating on why prose poetry/microfiction seems to be a popular formal choice at the moment - cordite.org.au/reviews/cordie…
It's a thesis, but if you're interested in Tim Winton, Nicholas Rothwell, Ross Gibson, Paul Carter, and representations of Australia's outback, you might find something in this for you. I think it's fascinating. ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/21…
Fantastic to see Prof Jamie Kirkpatrick's two new books launched and sailing into the world - 'Mr Caterpillar and the Special Timbers Incident' and 'Art by Nature'. You can get them @HobartBookshop and other good bookshops, or from me or Jamie if you can find us!
Ab fab to see Bridget Crack take out top honours at the Tas Premier's Lit Awards 2019. Congratulations @tisrachelreally ! If anyone wants to read it, my essay, touching on just a few of the many reasons this is such a great book, is here: brightsouth.com.au/poetic-island-…
Fiona's beautiful book will be launched in Launceston on the 29th. It follows the parallel lives of two small boys who lived in the same house, 80 years apart - and is based on the lives of two real boys. Event details: facebook.com/events/4185049…
@tisrachelreally That's nice to know, thank you @tisrachelreally. I'm sorry it took so long to get out there, and that I had to resort to self-publishing in the end. Save Island!
