| Title: Afterglow |
| By (author): Laura Jan Shore |
| ISBN10-13: 1922332216 : 9781922332219 |
| Afterglow is a poetry of love born, lost and then regained. With meticulous and lyric detail, Laura Jan Shore examines her relationship with her husband from a myriad of angles like a painter contemplating the lifelines of her subject, conveying deeply felt emotion but without the shorthand of sentimentality. This is about love that endures beyond the confines of mortal time. By the author of Water Over Stone. |

"No one knows how many times we’re born / or why, life after life, this joy and devastation. This is the mystery explored again and again in Laura Jan Shore’s beautifully written and fully imagined poems that comprise Afterglow. She revisits her dead husband, and he revisits her in various guises, times, places and voices, each a facet of the many person-ed selves we are and have been to one another during this lifetime and into the next. The wisdom in these poems is startling and snaps us into and out of dream. Shore reminds us poem by poem: You know you’re here to be /broken. Nothing to fix." -- Dorianne Laux, author, Only As the Day is Long: New and Selected

"My ears throb / with listening. / Your silence, / my uproar. Afterglow is at once a reckoning with loss and a celebration of what has been lost and the richness that remains. It honours a love story with two endings, the second one final. You will find raw grief transmuted into startling poems. Intertwined with death and its seismic aftermath are sensual pleasures recalled, humour alongside sorrow and anger, and a poignant portrait of one much-loved." -- Tricia Dearborn, author, Autobiochemistry

| Title: Backtrack |
| By (author): BN Oakman |
| ISBN10-13: 1922830437 : 9781922830432 |
| Backtrack, BN Oakmanâ s third full-length collection, is a suite of poems created in response to an observed, often baffling, world. Oakman writes with conviction in a direct and lively style, while employing various poetic forms to explore a wide range of emotions and experiences. He gives us poems crafted with empathy and humour about transient joys, abiding sadnesses, persistent injustices, fleeting triumphs and unassuageable grief â the whole exasperating mess and muddle of it all. Here are poems to engage the mind, touch the heart, nudge us to laughter, and occasionally, move us to tears. |

| ISBN10-13: 1922332909 : 9781922332905 |

| Reviews: |
|
"Bali, 50 Years is an exceptional book readable by all and dealing with the impact of fifty years of deep changes on Balinese society, culture, life and psyche. Jean Couteau, interviewed by Eric Buvelot, responds brilliantly to this important issue in a style accessible to all." – Georges Breguet (Anthropologist, Museum consultant)
|
|
"Jean, your book with Eric is fascinating. The information is fragmented because of the rapid-fire questions, but the [interview method] enables you to deliver an extraordinary amount of knowledge: you have truly reflected on all aspects of Balinese life." – Henri Chambert-Loir (Prof. Emeritus Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient)
|
|
"Go beyond the usual clichés by reading Jean Couteau’s in-depth analysis of the tremendous transformations Bali has known these past five decades: society, religion, economy, women’s rights, environment
Nothing published so far approaches it. And I love the conversation format: very dynamic." – Cecile Collineau (Book reviewer, Le Petit Journal Jakarta)
|
|
"A unique insight into Bali written by two experts who have lived almost all their lives on the Island of the Gods, it will allow you a 360° trip into a society in full transformation, worth reading." –Eva Peel (Singer & DJ Producer)

| Title: Beating Drug Addiction In Tehran |
| Sub-title: A Women's Clinic |
| By (author): Kate Dolan |
| ISBN10-13: 1922332321 : 9781922332325 |
| Dr Dolans book details the intimate lives of four Iranian women, their struggle with drugs and the daily grind they faced in their personal lives. Surprisingly, Iran responded well to its AIDS crisis but forgot to include female drug users. While Dr Dolan delivered training to Iranian prison doctors, she met women who were addicted to drugs and were desperately in need of treatment. With her health professional colleagues in Iran, she set out to establish the first drug treatment clinic for women. She was granted access to areas and people not normally afforded to outsiders. One of the most interesting aspect of the clinic was the safe room that allowed women to remove their hejabs, smoke cigarettes and reveal their life stories. Working at the clinic challenged assumptions Dr Dolan had of Iran and its people. She came away with insights that are rare even in the world of international development. |

Dolan draws from her vast international experience, weaving together the history and epidemiology of drug use in Iran with a tapestry of incredible, heart-rending stories from Iranian women experiencing the darkest depths of addiction. For readers who thought that epidemiologists were just ‘bean counters’, you’re in for the shock of your lives. – Steffanie Strathdee, PhD, Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences, Harold Simon Professor, UCSD Department of Medicine
|
|
This deftly crafted recollection recounts a decade-long quest to have methadone programs embedded in an Iranian prison. Kate’s multi-layered narrative takes us through the multitude of people, governments, policies, religions, moral imperatives and myths that swirl around any new drug and alcohol-related activity. Her mission was a matter of life and death. – Jude Byrne, Australian Injecting and Illicit Drug Users League

| Title: Dark Sky Dreamings |
| Sub-title: an Inland Skywriters Anthology |
| By (author): Merrill Findlay |
| ISBN10-13: 1922332054 : 9781922332059 |
| When you look up at a midnight sky, what do you seemottled stars and a full Moon trying hard to compete with the street lamps for your attention? You might be situated in a city, or its sprawling suburbs, where the ever-present urban glow tends to keep your gaze horizontal, missing out on the beckoning mysteries of the Universe.

Through the eyes and creativity of people who write about south-eastern inland Australia, well redirect your vision upwards to a brighter Moon, the subtle presence of nearby planets, the cosmic spectacular of our Milky Way galaxy and those celestial bodies even further away. Youll find inspiring stories, poems and essays by a great diversity of Australians responding to what some have called the Inland Astro-Trail, which connects rural and remote communities with world-class astronomical observatories such as those at Parkes, Siding Springs and Narrabri. Some skystories are literary, others intensely personal, but all are guaranteed to widen your horizonsupwards! |

"This anthology beautifully tells the stories from the perspective of people who live on the land, and their connection to Space in this most important of astronomical areas. From behind the scenes of some of the biggest astronomical events, to stories of viewing parts of our galaxy—views that billions of people across the world can no longer see—we gain an insight into a new universal reality as humans on our planet Earth, orbiting around our star, the Sun, in our galaxy, the Milky Way. – Brad Tucker, Research Fellow, Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Australian National University
|
|
The many voices of Dark Sky Dreaming speak to the canopy of stars that web our memories, carbon cells and spirit, reminding us that we share the same wide sky. Though each Skywriter charts a different astral track, this celestial compendium connects us to something numinous, inviting us to see the universe anew. – Tamryn Bennett, Artistic Director, Red Room Poetry
|
|
In the company of these stargazing storytellers, under a night sky so exuberant and immense, it’s possible to loosen yourself from the world of cities and forebodings and experience again that childhood sense of being an enchanted guest in a majestic and marvellous world. – Peter Bishop, Writers’ Advocate"

Feeling Blue is a picture book story for 3-8 years old that shows children by practising gratitude we can change our attitude. Children love nature and the natural environment and this is a gentle way to help children enjoy a story and learn to see the goodness that is around them. Mark Eatwell’s nature photographs beautifully match Trevor Todd’s text and add an emotive pull to the story. The natural delights of our native birds and environment are showcased beautifully allowing the reader to unconsciously learn about birds as they engage with the text. – Karen Hendrix, Buzz Words

A new way of bringing a traditional story to life, and a great introduction for younger readers to some of our amazing Australian birds. – Kerry Gitten, thebooktree.com.au
