Epigraph:

‘There is not a sign of life on the horizon, and a thousand signs of death. Not a blade of grass, not an insect; once or twice a day the shadow of a big hawk scenting carrion.’

Wilfred Owen in a letter to his mother 4th February 1917.

The Slipperiness of Meaning : Jean Kent Launches ‘Instant History’ by Richard Tipping, Jean Kent , single work review
— Review of Instant History : Mostly New Poems Richard Tipping , 2017 selected work poetry ;

'Forty years ago — when I was such a new poet I would never have dared call myself one— I bought a book which is still one of my most treasured possessions. It was the catalogue for a touring exhibition of poems by Australian poets. There were only 75 poets included: one of them was Richard Tipping.' (Introduction)

Vale Judith Rodríguez, Mark Roberts , single work obituary

'Rochford Street Press was saddened to learn of the death of Judith Rodríguez on 22 November 2018. Judith was one of the Australian poets I grew up reading and discovering Mudcrab at Gambaro (UQP 1980s) was one of those poetic memories that has always stayed with me. Rochford Street Press expresses our deepest condolences to Judith’s family and many friends and colleagues.' (Introduction)

Unfolding Complexity : Mark Roberts Considers Anna Couani’s ‘thinking Process’, Mark Roberts , single work essay

'Anna has been a friend and a mentor for more years than I care to remember. As a young poet in the late 1970s I had discovered New Poetry magazine and the Poets Union readings at the Royal Standard Hotel in Sydney. I began to meet poets and I read as widely as could among the small literary magazines and presses of the time. Then, I think it was in 1979, I came across Italy by Anna Couani (Rigmarole of the Hours 1977).' (Introduction)

A Need to Examine the Life of the Nation : Kit Kelen Reflects on ‘To End All Wars’, Christopher Kelen , single work essay

'Greetings all. Just a few words and a few more words about this anthology and how it came about. The idea for the collection came from a discussion, in Istanbul, between myself and Les Wicks at the International Poetry Festival there, a few years ago. It was a discussion involving some Turkish poets and translators as well.'  (Introduction)

Texture and Complexity : Carmel Macdonald Grahame Launches ‘Suburban Whistlestop’, Carmel MacDonald-Grahame , single work essay

'Some words are not easily used by poets. For example, writers have had to argue for a long time on behalf of the word Domestic. Domestic references and themes like family life, a focus on children, households, household labour, gardens, food, a daily walk…have been belittled in the past and seen as unworthy of poetry, even somehow inherently unpoetic. There is a general understanding about the grand tradition, that great public themes like war, the glories of history, or great abstractions like Love and Death have had the upper hand, so to speak.' (Introduction)
