Author: Samuel Wagan Watson

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
The much - anticipated new volume of poetry from the winner of the NSW Premier's Literary Awards Book of the Year From acclaimed poet Samuel Wagan Watson comes a much - anticipated volume that is both wild and dynamic in its flair and vision, mapping the songlines - the poemlines - of an Australia scarred by invasion and injustice, but brimming, too, with the vital energies of creativity and resilience. With striking immediacy, Watson's often satirical take on contemporary Australia, with its acquisitiveness and materialism, bears witness to an ancient culture protesting against the implacable march of development. Honest, powerful and compelling, this new collection from one of Australia's most recognised Indigenous poets reveals the ways love might go wrong, but, equally, its transformative power to heal and resonate in unexpected ways. Love Poems and Death Threats breaks new ground for Indigenous Australian writing and adds to Samuel Wagan Watson's reputation as one of our most exciting poets.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Every action is a mistake. Every meal is a waste. Reality is delusion. Life is death. Death by dumb luck, or by dumb choice. The end is nigh, and that's exactly the way it should be. This is A Manifesto of Contradiction, and it's all lies. A record from an alternate universe, Meta-Dream does not exist. Should not exist. And yet, here it is. Suffering with isolation, drudgery and depression, delivery driver James drives himself insane, and his car into a time-warp, trapping him in a nightmare of his own creation. Now he must rebuild the life he destroyed, and face his own worst enemy... Himself. Ride along with a blue-collar philosopher and journey through an all-too-real and present America, where War is Peace, Debt is Wealth, Corporations are People, and God's Money rules over a nation of drunkards, machines, and slaves.

Why Indigenous Literatures Matter
Author: Daniel Heath Justice
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1771121785
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Part survey of the field of Indigenous literary studies, part cultural history, and part literary polemic, Why Indigenous Literatures Matter asserts the vital significance of literary expression to the political, creative, and intellectual efforts of Indigenous peoples today. In considering the connections between literature and lived experience, this book contemplates four key questions at the heart of Indigenous kinship traditions: How do we learn to be human? How do we become good relatives? How do we become good ancestors? How do we learn to live together? Blending personal narrative and broader historical and cultural analysis with close readings of key creative and critical texts, Justice argues that Indigenous writers engage with these questions in part to challenge settler-colonial policies and practices that have targeted Indigenous connections to land, history, family, and self. More importantly, Indigenous writers imaginatively engage the many ways that communities and individuals have sought to nurture these relationships and project them into the future. This provocative volume challenges readers to critically consider and rethink their assumptions about Indigenous literature, history, and politics while never forgetting the emotional connections of our shared humanity and the power of story to effect personal and social change. Written with a generalist reader firmly in mind, but addressing issues of interest to specialists in the field, this book welcomes new audiences to Indigenous literary studies while offering more seasoned readers a renewed appreciation for these transformative literary traditions.
