'Mountains are constant but continually changing. Captive to the seasons, they reveal many faces: in winter shrouded in snow and mist, yet so visibly majestic in the summer months that they appear to touch the sky. Lost in clouds at times, so discernible at others. Places of solitude yet at the mercy of mountaineers who swarm them. Both revered and feared; mystical and earthy; elusive but tangible. Does the mystery of mountains lie in the many paradoxes that surround them?

'Join more than 150 poets from across Australia in a tantalising exploration of mountains around the world, real and imagined, literal and figurative.'  (Publication summary)

— Appears in: Wild 2018; (p. 11-12)

'At the heart of every poet is a wildness to create - a braveness to put their innermost thoughts on paper. With a blank piece of paper, the poet goes into uncharted territory -  to imagine, to venture, to let words run wild. As Vincent Van Gogh said about the creative process, it is about letting go 'without limits'. (Introduction)

'Stephen Matthews's initiative in establishing Ginninderra Press has made a significant contribution to contemporary Australian literature, providing welcome opportunities for both emerging and established writers. Matthews's dedication and passion are the lifeblood of this unique independent publishing house, which had its beginnings in a spare room of his Canberra home twenty years ago. Now firmly based in South Australia at Port Adelaide, Ginninderra Press has published hundreds of writers of both adult fiction and non-fiction. It has launched many poets in an innovative variety of formats, and its authors have garnered an impressive number of awards. In this celebratory volume, Rays of Light: Ginninderra Press - the first 20 years, nine essays by GP authors give an insight into its raison d'Etre, its achievements and its founder, and express their gratitude for the opportunities Ginninderra Press has given them to fulfil their writing aspirations.' - Christobel Mattingley AM .'
