Book Description
Most Australians despise what Pauline Hanson stands for, yet politics in this country is now orbiting around One Nation. In this timely Quarterly Essay, David Marr looks at Australia’s politics of fear, resentment and race. Who votes One Nation, and why? How much of this is due to inequality? How much to racism? How should the major parties respond to anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim voices? What damage do Australia’s new entrepreneurs of hate inflict on the nation? Written with drama and wit, this is a ground-breaking look at politics and prejudice by one of Australia’s best writers. “This woman went to prison, danced the cha-cha on national television for a couple of years, and failed so often at the ballot box she became a running joke. But the truth is she never left us. She was always knocking on the door. Most of those defeats at the polls were close-run things. For twenty years political leaders appeased Hanson’s followers while working to keep her out of office. The first strategy tainted Australian politics. The second eventually failed. So she’s with us again – the Kabuki make-up, that mop of red hair and the voice telling us what we already know: ‘I’m fed up.’” —David Marr, The White Queen

Book Description
In 2003, Pauline Hanson was sentenced to three years jail on convictions of fraud. She spent three months in prison before the verdict was overturned and she was released with a full withdrawal of the charges. Now, four years later, Pauline tells the story of how she came to be charged, her fight to prove innocence and of her life before and after politics. This is Pauline's story -- the good, the bad, and the ugly, because she is determined to let the public know the truth about those heady years and why: kept fighting for what she genuinely believed in. Pauline's book covers her time in politics and her shock discovery about what really happened behind closed political doors. The text goes to the very edge of defamation and libel -- names are named, Pauline speaks for the first time without fear or favour. This book is a truly remarkable read -- a "warts all" read told by the real Pauline Hanson!

Book Description
Sea of Words, Waves of Time is Cameron R. Blair’s first publication, encapsulating nearly thirty years of writing. Readers can follow his personal growth and reinvention first-hand, and be inspired to delve into their own inner workings. A collection of short-form poetry, observations, and lyrics, each of Blair’s pieces is uniquely categorized in place and time. While the concepts in this collection are largely universal, the work will appeal especially to Canadian audiences, as the location in which each poem was conceptualized ranges across the country, from British Columbia to Halifax and many places in between. Blair’s work provides a real and insightful look at the world—both internal and external. Blair explores concepts such as fatherhood, marriage, and love and lust; he reflects on childhood trauma and provides political, cultural, and environmental commentary. A celebration of a life—one that encourages inclusion and diversity—Blair’s work also highlights some of his life’s challenges, such as living with ADHD. The collection explores themes of sexuality and rediscovery and is intended to spark self-reflection in its readers, as the author experienced during its writing.

Book Description
At 450 years old, Orville Parker has hardly aged. He lives on the Planet Mirror, near the Grand Central Sun. Born on earth during the time of Galactic Contact after the Pleiadians ended thousands of years of isolation. He is given a task by the Pleiadian Elders to help facilitate the evolution of humanity, as the diaspora begins and earth’s inhabitants set forth to explore and settle throughout the galaxy. The Light and Dark face off on the Planet Tatochin where the Colonial Corporation, and its nefarious allies the Centurians and the Dravithians, enslave yet one more planet in the galaxy for their own greed. The rebels of Tatochin supported by Orville, the Pleiadians, and other secret allies, challenge these dominating forces with pluck and verve. Amidst the play of dynamic and heartfelt action, a subtle infiltration of a symbiotic life form, the Tharrr, offers the experience of unity consciousness to its host. The backdrop of blossoming new love and the striving for the spiritual ideal of harmonious living, carries the interplay of authentic and larger than life characters to a new level on the journey to Cosmic Consciousness.

Book Description
Charles Bernstein has described conceptual "poetry pregnant with thought." Against Expression, the premier anthology of conceptual writing, presents work that is by turns thoughtful, funny, provocative, and disturbing. Editors Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith chart the trajectory of the conceptual aesthetic from early precursors such as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp through major avant-garde groups of the past century, including Dada, Oulipo, Fluxus, and language poetry, to name just a few. The works of more than a hundred writers from Aasprong to Zykov demonstrate a remarkable variety of new ways of thinking about the nature of texts, information, and art, using found, appropriated, and randomly generated texts to explore the possibilities of non-expressive language. --Book Jacket.

Book Description
Addressing Jean Rhys's composition and positioning of her fiction, this book invites and challenges us to read the tacit, silent and explicit textual bearings she offers and reveals new insights about the formation, scope and complexity of Rhys's experimental aesthetics. Tracing the distinctive and shifting evolution of Rhys's experimental aesthetics over her career, Sue Thomas explores Rhys's practices of composition in her fiction and drafts, as well as her self-reflective comment on her writing. The author examines patterns of interrelation, intertextuality, intermediality and allusion, both diachronic and synchronic, as well as the cultural histories entwined within them. Through close analysis of these, this book reveals new experimental, thematic, generic and political reaches of Rhys's fiction and sharpens our insight into her complex writerly affiliations and lineages.
