Luke Beesley, Lemon Shark ISBN: 0-9579411-1-0 This powerful first collection from one of Australia's major emerging poets explores the grace and sensuality of language, with particular attention to Queensland sunlight, surfaces, and an intimate place within conversations. Many of the poems refer to a relationship between books and reading, films, and visual art. In Beesley's own words, "Essentially, too, Lemon Shark is about love, and an idiosyncratic sort of silliness or absurdity." Certain to be recognised as an Australian poetry classic in years to come.

Bruce Dawe has just released a new and highly topical sequence 'Towards the War', now available from Picaro Press. In the 1960's, Dawe's poetry helped to define that delicate balance point between strong anti-war sentiment and recognition of our collective obligation to defend the weak against tyranny and brutality. Three decades on, his opinions are still fresh, timely, and troublingly ethical. B.R. Dionysius, Universal Andalusia ISBN: 0-9579411-2-9
The third published book of Brisbane-based poet, editor and arts administrator B.R. Dionysius, Universal Andalusia is a verse novel that traces the backpacking holiday through southern Europe and India by two Australian thirtysomethings, Baldwin (one part Alexander the Great, one part Barry McKenzie) and his 'energetic' wife, Roxanne. Their picaresque travels are an amalgamation of history, nationalistic clichés, cultural (including pop-cultural) imperialism (and heresy!), 'otherness', and shallow backpacker tourism in the pre-9/11 world. According to Dionysius, "Readers can expect a fast-paced action thriller with a bit of sex thrown in for titillation." Published by soi 3 modern poets, an imprint of papertiger media inc. Available from www.papertigermedia.com Glenda Fawkes "A Talent For Flight" with images by Claire Beynon, Pub Steele Roberts Ltd, Wellington.Living and loving in a world where nothing is quite as it appears, and the small bright talismans we use to keep the door to chaos closed.

The Barrier Range by Ray Liversidge. Author and journalist Alan Atwood has said of the book: "In The Barrier Range, Ray Liversidge approaches this landmark from a fresh and imaginative direction, creating a parallel universe in which the stories of Burke, Wills and other early explorers co-exist with MP3 players, television and the Number 19 tram. Like the expeditions it echoes, this is daring and epic in scale". The book can be purchased from Collected Works Bookshop or other bookshops in Melbourne.
