'If one could learn to read the distinctive handwriting etched into each stone, and the sometimes-illegible messages scrawled into its very structure, one might start to understand the history of deep time.'

'It was Elena who started the conversation. ‘I use зелений, червонийй and синій for my portraits.’ I wasn’t sure I had heard correctly but she repeated it. ‘Green, red and blue to make skin tones.’'

1 y separately published work icon Copper Catherine Evans , Hobart : A Published Event , 2020 21185831 2020 selected work poetry

'But there was no implosion. The opposite happened; the hospital partially exploded and before we understood what was happening, great plumes of water rose up towards the sky as the shrapnel arched towards us. Great parts of the hospital flew at high speed towards the crowd in a silent theatre of gravity and mass and the unharnessed possibilities of matter.'

1 y separately published work icon Granite Granite III Lyndal Jones , Hobart : A Published Event , 2020 21184349 2020 selected work poetry

'It's the hardness that holds no moisture. It's the completeness, the stillness that has no give — no reflection of the other ... In this case at least it's not even a coldness. That would imply disdain.

'No. These are the eyes of someone who does not love, nor even care. These are the eyes, as I remember them, as I looked up as a small child, into the face of my grandmother.'

1 y separately published work icon Sandstone Bianca Hester , Hobart : A Published Event , 2020 21184286 2020 selected work poetry

'Millions of years of evolution buried deep within the double helix of my body's biologic fabric were on display during those few raucous hours. Rock enveloped in reptile embedded in mammal. Moan.'

1 y separately published work icon Stalactite Tricky Walsh , Hobart : A Published Event , 2020 21183811 2020 selected work poetry

'These things leach through the unconscious one drip at a time.

'A tube of copper, a tin of coffee, a pair of broken wheels. Timber, always timber and string.'

'It was an industry that spawned respectable businessmen in the Australian cities, whose names still designate streets and suburbs: men who made their start on the islands off Tasmania.'

1 y separately published work icon Granite Granite II Shevaun Cooley , Hobart : A Published Event , 2019 17442551 2019 selected work poetry

'What comes
next: the long descent.
To let our tired bodies down,
over rock that has weathered
us, under the swift mallet
of light that grinds us
to the ground.
Beloved this world
isn’t even ours.
And it is also,
profoundly, ours.
'

1 y separately published work icon Granite Ruth Hadlow , Hobart : A Published Event , 2019 17442495 2019 selected work poetry

'Each day I sit on the slab of granite, estrange myself from the surrounding world, to find and spend time with you.'

1 y separately published work icon Mudstone Mudstone II Trygve Luktvasslimo , Hobart : A Published Event , 2019 17442404 2019 selected work poetry

'There was a whiff of petroleum in the air. He turned and was faced with the towering sight of a cruise ship’s front hull. There was a dead body hanging by one leg from a rope that was attached to the anchor opening, and immediately to the right, in huge capital letters, was written THE WORLD.'

1 y separately published work icon Fossil Fossil II Wendy Morrow , Hobart : A Published Event , 2019 17442315 2019 selected work poetry

'To go underground – Penetralia; the innermost secret parts and recesses; to go within, between rock and body, mysteries and doubt. A place of stillness – the black quiet world of fossil.'

1 y separately published work icon Rhyolite Lucy Bleach , Hobart : A Published Event , 2019 17442217 2019 selected work poetry

'As the route gains altitude, the integrity of the road’s surface diminishes; cracks reveal substrate, edges soften into the landscape and the village dissolves into a relaxed form of agriculture, then a feral fusion of native plants and weeds. The ascent becomes so acute that the Ape struggles to maintain its speed and, suddenly spent, spontaneously gives up, making a sound similar to a baby releasing a slow-motion raspberry from its wet lips.'

1 y separately published work icon Memoirs of a Travelling Sheila Gay Hawkes , Hobart : A Published Event , 2018 19059224 2018 single work autobiography

'In 1994 when her last child left home, artist Gay Hawkes sold her house to finance a trip to Russia and Ireland.

She works in situ, making sculpture and furniture, interpreting place and recording impressions. After losing everything to a bushfire in 2013, she took off for Armenia. Memoirs Of A Travelling Sheila tells the stories of an artist and her wanderings.'

1 y separately published work icon Repeat Pattern Tracey Diggins , Hobart : A Published Event , 2018 19059109 2018 selected work poetry

'Using free verse and narrative, Repeat Pattern explores universal themes of love, loss, friendship and desire. Written over 20 years this collection of poems is on the one hand a very personal story with a unique set of circumstances. Just a dot and a dash in the history of time and human experience – one person’s pattern or mark amongst a world of seemingly infinite patterns. And yet could one person’s pattern be everyone’s pattern? And does that pattern repeat repeat repeat?'

1 y separately published work icon The Kraken and Me Kyle Perry , Hobart : A Published Event , 2018 19059049 2018 single work novel fantasy

'When 15 year old Jane Redwood first saw the Kraken, she assumed it was another of her Alice in Wonderland Syndrome hallucinations. Now she knows better. Trapped in another dimension, Jane has only seven days to find the Rabbit Hole and get back home. But with a murderous A.I. on her tail, the gigantic Mocker’s Tortoise now loose, and visions of a mad hatter plaguing her memory, will she make it to the W.H.I.T.E. R.A.B.B.I.T in time, or will she be trapped forever? Or, will the price of returning home be more than she’s willing to pay? This is the story of The Kraken And Me.'

1 y separately published work icon The Dangerous Pursuit of Beauty Jill G. Davis , Hobart : A Published Event , 2018 19059016 2018 selected work poetry

'The Dangerous Pursuit Of Beauty is a collection of recent poems about encounters with the wild splendour of the mined and mountainous landscapes of western Tasmania. Speaking through the imagined voices of figures such as Frida Kahlo and Cassandra, it is also an exploration of what it means to live at the margins in troubled times. It is introduced with a meditation on the power of beauty to change us.'
