In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.The death of Anne Elder on 23 October, 1976, deprived the literary world of one of its most distinctive voices. After the publication of only two collections of poetry, For the Record and Crazy Woman, she is recognized as one of Australia's leading poets. Crazy Woman was highly commended in the 1977 National Book Council Awards.Crazy Woman is an exceptional collection of poetry, one in which Anne Elder creates her own unique world of passion and integrity.Her mood and response to experience ranges from the quirky wit, powerful perceptiveness and humaneness of poems like "Boxes", "Farmer Goes Berserk" and 'One Foot in the Door", to the rambling, arhythmical portrait of an eccentric bachelor ("The Bachelor") and her casual but fierce view of school cadets. Tender lyricism, delicate shading and pastel mood are combined with a briskness, a sardonic humour.As Anne Elder herself said: "I detest…

Description:
In very good condition, has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.'In any part of Australia, almost in any company, the mere mention of Henry Lawson's name will bring an immediate response. Whether it gives rise to an anecdote or a recitation of a few lines of his verse or leads to a discussion of his place in Australian literature it will not pass unnoticed. Alone among our writers he takes his place not only as a writer but as part of the wide Australian tradition.'In the opening words to his introduction to this book, Walter Stone sums up Lawson's part in Australia's heritage. The poems selected for the book have been enjoyed by more than seven generations, from the famous 'Faces in the Street', which exposed the social injustices of the late 1800's, to 'The Sliprails and the Spur', described as possibly 'the tenderest and most perfect of all his poems'. Combined with Pro Hart's paintings, which capture the humour of some of the poems, the pathos…

Description:
In very good condition - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Patterson, the author of such famous ballads as Clancy of the Overflow and The Man from Snowy River, has become a symbol of the outback for most Australians. His poems capture the spirit of the bush people; they celebrate the vast distances and the harsh and beautiful places of outback Australia. This book, the second in a series of Australian poems illustrated by Australian artists, contains a selection of the most well-known and best-loved of Paterson's poems including those favourites mentioned above, Waltzing Matilda, Saltbush Bill, and A Bush Christening. Pro Hart's paintings reflect the moods of the poems and add to the charm of the book.This is a book which will delight the already countless number of Paterson admirers and will doubtless bring many newcomers to their ranks.

Description:
In good condition - has markings from use - due to differing weights in books, postage maybe adjusted at checkout.Robert Burns' verse reflects the work of a man very consciously aware of his contemporary, local world.Burns was not, however, as he is sometimes portrayed, an unlettered peasant. He was familiar with the Bible, Shakespeare and the Spectator. Nevertheless, for copiousness and fertility of phrase and image the nearest parallels to Burns's Scots language are colloquial Chaucerian and Elizabethan English. It was through this very personal manipulation of the language that he used his verse to reveal the complexity of life, and to display his shrewd insight into human nature and his comic - satiric appreciation of the Scottish community. Rooted in the local and particular, Burns' poetry rises above the parochial to present his unique vision - and criticism - of human life.
