Book Description
This ground-breaking anthology collects poems written by Australian poets who are migrants, their children, and refugees of Asian heritage, spanning work that covers over three decades of writing. Inclusive of hitherto marginalised voices, these poems explore the hyphenated and variegated ways of being Asian Australian, and demonstrate how the different origins and traditions transplanted from Asia have generated new and different ways of being Australian. This anthology highlights the complexity of Asian Australian interactions between cultures and languages, and is a landmark in a rich, diversely-textured and evolving story. Timely and proactive this anthology fills existing cultural gaps in poetic expressions of home, travel, diaspora, identity, myth, empire and language.

The Weekly Poem represents an invaluable resource for all poets - emerging or established - and may be of benefit both in the classroom or at the private desk. It's such a blessed relief to have some little formal problem to work out, so you don't have to think about the earthshattering importance of what you are going to say. - Howard Nemerov Limitation makes for power... - Richard Wilbur

Book Description
Don't bother reading this book, but please do buy it. If you own it you don't need to read it, and you'll help stop my publisher going broke. Also, you'll be supporting poetry, which is a Good Thing. - Nick RiemerThis vividly varied collection, experimental and assured, is located at the nexus of seeing and saying. Some of the poems are magical verbal mobiles, some probe philosophical imponderables and the limits and resistances of language itself, others, with deft humour, reinterpret history and landscape. The best first book of poems I have read for years. - Vivian SmithNick Riemer's book is destabilizing, self-mocking and periodically nihilistic. The imagery is crystalline, the explorations of the inanimate paradoxically animated and lively. If words were kites Nick Riemer's could take you places you'd not imagine words could go. - J. S.

Book Description
Award-winning Arab Australian poet Omar Sakr presents a pulsating collection of poetry that interrogates the bonds and borders of family, faith, queerness, and nationality. Visceral and energetic, Sakr’s poetry confronts the complicated notion of “belonging” when one’s family, culture, and country are at odds with one’s personal identity. Braiding together sexuality and divinity, conflict and redemption, The Lost Arabs is a fierce, urgent collection from a distinct new voice.
