by Geoffrey Field Dean
ISBN 0 9756797 0 8, 2004.
Roaring Forties Press

RRP: AUD$22.95 or direct from this website for AUD$20

Geoff Dean's "short fiction is among the best in the country"
— The Age, 8/1/2005

"Multi-award winning Australian writer Geoffrey Dean proves once and for all, in his collection The Literary Lunch, that he is a writer in the true sense of the word... This is a book to read in the heart of the city, with people milling all around, pigeons, dirt, gritty with life, and is a book to be read, then shared, and never forgotten."
— JAS Review of Books

Geoff's seventh collection, Under the Mountain, was published by Esperance Press in July 2007.

 
 

 

Chaos Theory of the Heart and other poems mainly since 1990
by Lionel Abrahams

Chaos Theory of the Heart was published by Roaring Forties Press
in association with Jacana Media, Johannesburg.
ISBN 0 9756797 1 6, 2005.

RRP: AUD$22.95 or direct from this website for AUD$20

"Lionel Abrahams dedicated his life to literature and the refining power of literature over the human spirit."
— Nobel laureate, J M Coetzee

Lionel's "great, infectious faith in poetry lay in the value he attached to the meeting of writer and reader on the page. Meeting him again in this book is a rare delight."— Ivan Vladislavic.

Lionel taught poets the art of poetry for decades, and inherent in this work are 'lessons' from his heartfelt love of poetry. A selection of Lionels poetry is on this site, in vol.6, 2003.
