The work of Western women artists, past and present, is collected here in a stunning array of forms: fiction, poetry, autobiography, essay, journal and letter writing, sculpture, painting, graphics, photography, ceramics, needlework, music, and dance. The unique experience of women artists from diverse national, ethnic, racial, and economic backgrounds is explored from their own viewpoints, as are the relationships between women's social condition and women's art.
Wanderings through the world, through history, through the heart: these are the travels undertaken by Ingrid Wendt in her new collection Surgeonfish. As always, Wendt's ambitions and formal range are large, and her poems are equal to the task"--Back cover.
This book deals with immigration processes of Germans who have arrived in Australia since 1945. It is an attempt to catch the voices of these people, to let them talk about their hopes, aspirations, achievements and disappointments. In 2010 notices were sent out all over Australia, asking Germans (most of them Australians today) to write about their experiences, about challenges and positive happenings. The book contains 28 chapters written by German-born women and men from all walks of life, some came to Australia as children, some as adults, others talk about the lives of their immigrant parents, one person pays tribute to a partner he has lost recently, and who describes her impressions about university life in Germany and in Australia, another person looks back at twenty-three years in Australia and the fine line that divides him and the Australian people. Most, but not all, are success stories. This book also includes three chapters about organisations that provided a buffer zone for new arrivals in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s: Club Harmony of Melbourne, the Club of the Danube Swabians in Adelaide, and the SA German Club. The final chapter is an interview with a person who had to flee Nazi Germany in 1938, with Ernie Salomon.
This fine gathering of poems shows Ingrid Wendt's genius for bringing her readers into a world that becomes theirs. Finely crafted narratives and lyric meditations offer a host of small epiphanies arising from everyday life: turning points in relationships, insights into our troubled world, and coming to terms with loss. Wendt is a master of metaphor who turns the mundane into poems that nourish. A classical musician by training, she makes poems sing.

Dieser Band enthält siebzehn Aufsätze, die neue Ansatzpunkte der kulturellen Interaktion und neues Material vorstellen. Die Aufsätze befassen sich unter anderem mit europäischen Vorurteilen gegenüber Japan und China, die manchmal nur mittelbar zum Vorschein kommen. Aber zumeist weisen diese Aufsätze auf die Aufgeschlossenheit jener europäischen Künstler und Künstlerinnen hin, die nach neuen Ausdrucksformen suchten und die Wirklichkeit aus ungewohnten Blickwinkeln darstellen wollten. Dieses Buch vermittelt dem Leser ein eindrückliches Bild von der Rezeption des «Fremden» seit dem letzten Viertel des 18. Jahrhunderts - als Vorbild, als Zerrbild und als Spiegelbild des eigenen «Ich».
