by Max Ryan (Winner of the 2005 Anne Elder Award) “Max Ryan brings both the skilled eye of a technician and the compassion of hard won experience to these poems. Pain and joy are never far from the surface. His lyric gift and sure–footed narratives work emotion through the fire of art: the end result is compelling.” – Judy Johnson. “Max Ryan’s poetry is disarming and fresh – the image inhabits his work like a mindful, meditating presence, and this, coupled with his large–hearted cadences makes his work enormously readable. His words sift deep into life, and are full of power and insight. These are clear and shapely poems written from an empathetic heart.” – Judith Beveridge.

SOLD OUT Poetry from Byron Bay and Beyond “From the mad energy of Lel Sebastian’s razor-sharp From an old Hindu poem in the new Tom Robbins through the deftly handled tonal shifts and savage wit of Melissa Lucashenko’s Remembering Blackboys to Janice Bostock’s exquisite haikus and minimalist lyricism, and through every shade between, this anthology is a vibrant reminder of how, as Peter Porter has noted, poetry is both language lit up by life, and life lit up by language.” “What do we look for in poetry? We look for poems that move the heart or tickle the intellect or both. We look for rich and exotic language, for new and unusual images that illuminate, in a flash, some human meaning. We look for poems that establish, all over again, the connection between the Word, the Image and the Heart. This anthology provides all these pleasures and more.” – Shirley Walker.
