'“Poetry as Les Murray suggests, is the way we think. Experiences crystallised to essence. The poems in this engaging anthology are drawn directly from the process of converting sensation to meaning, of taking the random detail of the world and making them something to live by, to take forward. There are so many surprises here, so much that shows us the relevance and the power of an art that remains at the heart of human existence. Silver Linings demonstrates the strength of the human spirit, the elegance of its incarnation in words. This effervescent anthology will reward many readings. ”               JOHN FOULCHER' (Publication summary)

'"I hope that ... " "We hope in ... "
To possess and express hope is intrinsic to our being human. Our hope, whether as noun or verb, opens to broad and diverse landscape: sun-basking peaks to darkening valleys. We have hope in someone or something, be that in - relationship; an idea; a way of life; creation's richness; a dream; a wish; an event; family; a place; a plan; the arts; and so on ... There is the 'sure and certain' hope of being in Christ through grace. To be hope-full is to be marked by - anticipation; optimism; desire; expectation; aspiration ... And, above all, a longing that whispers, (in CS.Lewis's words), that our real goal is elsewhere. In your hand is this anthology with poems that travel across this varying landscape. Different poems in style and subject, infused with hope. With a quietness and gentleness, they draw you in, invite you to read ... to look up ... and reflect ...

'Maree Silver's poetry touches every sense. In Threshold - a miscellany, Maree creates imagery that is uniquely Australian. Talks lean rustily; corellas squabble; frogs croak challenges from the billabong; the citrus perfume of lemon-scented gums infuses nostrils while earthy ochres blur into cellophane sky. Raised in the Wimmera, Maree recalls childhood memoires of desert, plain and river. They come to glorious, descriptive life through her poetry and exquisite photography, and continue to live in harmony with poems of suburbia, family and adulthood. Threshold - a miscellany - poems of country and city will connect you to the Australia of the Dreamtime and the Australia of today.' (Publication summary)
