A World that was

The Yaraldi of the Murray River and the Lakes, South Australia

By: Ronald Murray Berndt,Catherine Helen Berndt,John E. Stanton

This extraordinary book, written from material gathered over half a century ago, will almost certainly be the last fine-grained account of traditional Aboriginal life in settled south-eastern Australia. It recreates the world of the Yaraldi group of the Kukabrak or Narrinyeri people of the Lower Murray and Lakes region of South Australia. In 1939 Albert Karloan, a Yaraldi man, urged a young ethnologist, Ronald Berndt, to set up camp at Murray Bridge and to record the story of his people. Karloan and Pinkie Mack, a Yaraldi woman, possessed through personal experience, not merely through hearsay, an all but complete knowledge of traditional life. They were virtually the last custodians of that knowledge and they felt the burden of their unique situation. This book represents their concerted efforts to pass on the story to future generations. For Ronald and Catherine Berndt, this was their first fieldwork together in an illustrious joint career of almost fifty years. During long periods, principally until 1943, they laboured with pencil and paper to put it all down - a far cry from the recording techniques of today's oral historians. Their fieldnotes were worked into a rough draft of what would become, but not until recently, the finished manuscript. The book's range is encyclopaedic and engrossing - sometimes dramatic. It encompasses relations between and among individuals and clan groups, land tenure, kinship, the subsistence economy, trade, ceremony, councils, fighting and warfare, rites of passage from conception to death, myths, and beliefs and practices concerning healing and the supernatural. Not least, it is a record of the dramatic changes following European colonization. A World That Was is a unique contribution to Australia's cultural history. There is simply no comparable body of work, nor is there ever likely to be.

Once Loved, Twice Lost

By: Catherine Willett

Eli and Emily are devoted best friends. Although their upbringings were very different, as children they formed a fast friendship that excluded most others. Eli was a Cherokee boy whose home on his reservation backed up to the small town of White Oak. He was raised to believe the wisdom of the elders on his small reservation. Emily was a preacher’s kid who lived in White Oak and was raised to adhere strictly to the teachings of the Bible. The unlikely pairing of the two would serve them both well as they struggled to grow into their teen years. Difficulty and disaster came swiftly when the pair reached their midteens. Terrible damage was done to Eli, which separated the friends possibly for a lifetime. Eventually, after many years, the two meet again and are instantly attracted to each other. However, the harm of the past comes back and will endeavor to keep them apart. Is there time enough to heal from the past? Is there room in Eli’s heart for forgiveness?

Intimacy

Intimacy

By: Catherine Imbriglio

Winner of the 2013 Colorado Prize for Poetry Intimacy is a series of experimental poems that play with, resist, and acknowledge complicity with received concepts of intimacy that circulate in this media-centric age. Undertaking an expansive understanding of the word “intimacy”, each poem contains a word or set of words that modifies the noun, uncovering the attending, associative and often contradictory obligations that arise in our relations with one another.

No Image There and the Gaze Remains

The Visual in the Work of Jorie Graham

By: Catherine Karaguezian

To date, no book-length study of the work of poet Jorie Graham has been published. Graham now holds the prestigious Boylston Professorship of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University; recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and a Pulitzer Prize, Graham has established herself as one of the most important poets of her generation. This book addresses the connection between Graham's work and the legacy of American Modernism, arguing that her recurring interest in the visible world and how best to represent it in her poetry can be seen as a continuation of the work of Eliot and Stevens. For Graham, the visible world is a means of approaching the ineffable, or the divine. The poet's approach to the ineffable in her work is conflated at times with the relationship between the self and the other: maintaining the integrity of both and accurately representing the truth of what she sees become a moral project for the poet, aligning her work with that of the Moderns. The book addresses Graham's entire body of work, now nine books of poetry, and interprets her poetic preoccupation with visuality through the lens of psychoanalytic criticism.

RSPB Nature Guide: Birds

By: Catherine Brereton

Do you know that cormorants are expert fishers? They swim along the water and then quickly dive to catch their prey! Or that great crested grebes fluff up their feathers and break out into a dance to attract their mates? From the easy-to-spot, year-round tufted duck to the summer visitor and cackling fulmar, get ready to find out about 137 different birds. There are so many feathered friends to meet in this children's spotter's field guide, published in collaboration with the RSPB, the largest wildlife conservation charity in Europe. You will learn where to find birds, what different bird habitats look like and which birds to look out for throughout different seasons. Including our favourite birds, such as the goldfinch, robin, blue tit, blackbird and even owl, as well as some less common visitors we might not know of, each page contains information boxes about each bird. With beautiful illustrations by Kate McLelland throughout, this is the perfect contemporary pocket guide for young birdwatchers in-the-making and adult nature enthusiasts alike.
