1 y separately published work icon From Shekki to Sydney : An Autobiography Stanley Hunt , Broadway : Wild Peony , 2009 Z1655412 2009 single work autobiography In the late 19th and 20th centuries large numbers of Chinese travelled to the USA, Australia and other parts of the world to prospect for gold, or to work as labourers, gardeners and traders, but there are few accounts of the lives of these people who predominantly came from the coastal region of Guangdong province. Stanley Hunt's From Shekki to Sydney: An Autobiography fills part of that gap in Australian and Chinese social history by documenting his childhood in Shekki, his experiences after relocating to Australia, and the lives of his parents and grandparents. -- Inside cover flap
1 y separately published work icon Eight Contemporary Chinese Poets Naikan Tao (editor), Tony Prince (editor), Naikan Tao (translator), Tony Prince (translator), Broadway : Wild Peony , 2006 7593813 2006 anthology poetry

An anthology of poems by Yang Lian, Jiang He, Han Dong, Yu Jian, Zhai Yongming, Zhang Zhen, Xi Chuan and Hai Zi. These poets have initiated the trends of elitist poetry, neo-realist poetry, women's poetry and cosmopolitan poetry that dominated Chinese poetry from the mid-1980s for almost two decades and remains a continuing presence today.
1 4 y separately published work icon Yashodhara : Six Seasons Without You Subhash Jaireth , Sydney : Wild Peony , 2003 Z1069623 2003 selected work poetry

These poems tell the story of Yashodhara, the wife of Gautama Buddha. The poetic forms used by Jaireth are those that were popular in ancient and medieval Indian, Sanskrit and non-Sanskrit literatures.

The narrative is constructed around poems about six seasons, with each season made up of six poems of fourteen lines. The season-poems follow a strict poetic structure and represent the voice of Yashodhara. Longer narrative poems interject the season-poems. The narrative poems are about the Buddha and are written in the voice of a contemporary narrator.

1 12 y separately published work icon Songs of the Last Chinese Poet Yu Ouyang , Broadway : Wild Peony , 1997 Z516663 1997 sequence poetry The author has descibed this numbered sequence of 97 untitled poems as 'a metaphysical and postmodern attempt to probe into issues of colonization and self-colonization, change of identities in a new country as a bilingual writer, death as a way of imagination and exorcization, and dark Chinese humor as a send-up of what one sees as the flashy but cheap trappings of an Australian read Western civilization, all in a heightened awareness of the approaching demise of the twentieth century'.
