1 1 y separately published work icon The Diwan of Nawid Mal McKimmie , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2023 26363998 2023 selected work poetry

''The Diwan of Nawid is like nothing else in Australian poetry - a spiritual text of sublime beauty in which we follow the struggles, questionings, and exhortations of Nawid, a character you will come to love for the way in which he lays before us his intense search for inviolable truths. Nawid is an 'everyman' but with one remarkable difference - he is a first-rate poet whose work contains the devotion and open-minded sagacity of a modern-day Kabir.' - Judith Beveridge

''Sometimes a new voice springs from a poet. It's not quite the poet's own (although it is), and it's not quite another's voice (although it is). The Diwan of Nawid is a memorable collection of poems in such a voice: tender, witty, puzzled, consoling. It is unique in Australian poetry.' - Kevin Hart' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon At the Foot of the Mountain Mal McKimmie , Glebe : Puncher and Wattmann , 2021 20877604 2021 selected work poetry

'At the Foot of the Mountain contains several stunning sequences, including the title sequence, which is the highly allusive and tightly wrought result of a surprising collision between Dante's Divine Comedy and Kafka's The Metamorphosis. The poems reveal a searching, idiosyncratic mind; they are linguistically acrobatic, disruptive and delightful, and often darkly funny.' (Publication summary)
