Book excerpt: "Jenni Nixon's book is a journey of salvage through some hard lessons and difficult times, told in a way that is atmospheric and immediate, often with a wry twist. Caf Boogie is full of earned work that celebrates awareness gained whilst honouring the losses and counting the costs, including some significant deaths of family, friends and muses taken by age, AIDS or addictions. It is about people who "make up for loss with more loss," where self-acceptance is the harder road. Nixon's background in theatre and performance are obviously influential in the writing. Using bold phrasings and syntax, determined to keep it real, she records a life lived in and around Sydney's bohemian culture and lesbian and gay communities from the 1970s to the present-the drugs, gossip, politics and drama; the loves, friendships and lost time. Although mainly narrative in her style, Nixon does not shy away from political protest; she cuts to the chase and not even the Dalai Lama or her own milieu and persona escape." - Jill Jones .,."fixes its lines into place with the precision of a rivet gun..." - Overland "Nixon is a captivating performer. Her poetry of city and country life is sharp, can be poignant and is full of fun. This is exciting, different and memorable." - Blue Mountains Gazette

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subterranean nightspots in 1950s New York and San Francisco were social, cultural, and political hothouses for left-wing bohemians. The art and antics of rebellious figures in 1950s American nightlife—from the Beat Generation to eccentric jazz musicians and comedians—have long fascinated fans and scholars alike. In The Rebel Café, Stephen R. Duncan flips the frame, focusing on the New York and San Francisco bars, nightclubs, and coffeehouses from which these cultural icons emerged. Duncan shows that the sexy, smoky sites of bohemian Greenwich Village and North Beach offered not just entertainment but doorways to a new sociopolitical consciousness. This book is a collective biography of the places that harbored beatniks, blabbermouths, hipsters, playboys, and partisans who altered the shape of postwar liberal politics and culture. Throughout this period, Duncan argues, nightspots were crucial—albeit informal—institutions of the American democratic public sphere. Amid the Red Scare’s repressive politics, the urban underground of New York and San Francisco acted as both a fallout shelter for left-wingers and a laboratory for social experimentation. Touching on literary figures from Norman Mailer and Amiri Baraka to Susan Sontag as well as performers ranging from Dave Brubeck to Maya Angelou to Lenny Bruce, The Rebel Café profiles hot spots such as the Village Vanguard, the hungry i, the Black Cat Cafe, and the White Horse Tavern. Ultimately, the book provides a deeper view of 1950s America, not simply as the black-and-white precursor to the Technicolor flamboyance of the sixties but as a rich period of artistic expression and identity formation that blended cultural production and politics.

Book excerpt: African Americans' historical roots are encapsulated in the lyrics, melodies, and rhythms of their music. In the 18th and 19th centuries, African slaves, longing for emancipation, expressed their hopes and dreams through spirituals. Inspired by African civilization and culture, as well as religion, art, literature, and social issues, this influential, joyous, tragic, uplifting, challenging, and enduring music evolved into many diverse genres, including jazz, blues, rock and roll, soul, swing, and hip hop. Providing a lyrical history of our nation, this groundbreaking encyclopedia, the first of its kind, showcases all facets of African American music including folk, religious, concert and popular styles. Over 500 in-depth entries by more than 100 scholars on a vast range of topics such as genres, styles, individuals, groups, and collectives as well as historical topics such as music of the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and numerous others. Offering balanced representation of key individuals, groups, and ensembles associated with diverse religious beliefs, political affiliations, and other perspectives not usually approached, this indispensable reference illuminates the profound role that African American music has played in American cultural history. Editors Price, Kernodle, and Maxile provide balanced representation of various individuals, groups and ensembles associated with diverse religious beliefs, political affiliations, and perspectives. Also highlighted are the major record labels, institutions of higher learning, and various cultural venues that have had a tremendous impact on the development and preservation of African American music. Among the featured: Motown Records, Black Swan Records, Fisk University, Gospel Music Workshop of America, The Cotton Club, Center for Black Music Research, and more. With a broad scope, substantial entries, current coverage, and special attention to historical, political, and social contexts, this encyclopedia is designed specifically for high school and undergraduate students. Academic and public libraries will treasure this resource as an incomparable guide to our nation's African American heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Facing the Pacific, Michael Sariban explores the uniqueness of place and the possibilities of mystery. Whether exploring the glare and undertow of beaches, the stillness of country, or lovers contemplating the enigma of a clear night sky, Sariban's poetry invites us to explore the deeper currents of our experience. "Only those poets who value silence, who let their words grow out of it, can be 'intense with doubt and feeling', as poetry requires in its deepest levels. Michael Sariban is a meditative poet who writes with 'infinite attention' about landscape and mindscape." - Kevin Hart "Cold in the tropics, Sariban has made himself vulnerable to what the earth, sea and sky have to offer - the shivering wonder of it all." - Kate Llewellyn "His poems are urbane, skilful and various. So many here can be savoured again and again." - Judith Rodriguez "Sariban catches the unexpected moment in alert, memorable language." - Thomas Shapcott

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Resonant and delicate, Fresh News from the Arctic explores the physical and imaginary. This is a collection that investigates what it means to be human, probing into the meaning of life and questioning mortality, myth - both private and known - and the mysterious. At once atmospheric, with a surreal blend of emotion and memory, Fresh News is a fluid and ever-shifting landscape of possibilities. These poems are restless and inquisitive. They echo a desire to forge a voice that is as curious as it is distinctive. These are poems attuned to our tough yet fragile planet. Feelingly, they celebrate its loam and snow, travelled seas, and the inexhaustible theatre of sky.' - Chris Wallace-Crabbe 'These warm, spare poems move exquisitely between memory, imagination and history: from the Arctic Circle to Virginia Woolf, from two fruits and ice cream to kangaroos in Paris. Libby Hart understands that poetry is language on the point of evocation, intent on "murmuring the world, grasping it slowly". She is indeed a poet to watch.' - Lisa Jacobson 'Vivid, strong, sinuous, beautifully rendered. Highly memorable and compelling.' - Mikhail Iossel, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosemary Huisman writes from where she is. This does not necessarily mean a romantic concern with self-expression, but it does mean paying attention to her surroundings-natural, social, political. It especially includes paying attention to the language used by other people. The accuracy and clarity of what she aims for is not some objective truth, but it is what is truthful for her, to her perception and understanding. "This is a world wonderfully changed by Rosemary Huisman's fine observation, playful intelligence and true feeling. Her poetry gives us what we need: it helps us recognise ourselves even as it constantly surprises us. A pleasure to read-and read again." - Noel Rowe "I felt a great admiration for how much of the world is lucidly present in Huisman's poetry. Places, characters and remembrances are all made vital and rich in these clear, shapely poems. Her clean approaches and her incisive, guiding voice make her a poet of power and authority. The delicacy and poise of her language is a delight, and her range of interests makes this a dynamic collection. Huisman's poems leap with life." - Judith Beveridge

Back in 1994, when David Rowbotham released his New and Selected Poems, 1945-1993, a flurry of reviews appeared in the major newspapers and magazines remarking on how richly Rowbotham deserved more recognition as one of Australia's major poets of the past century. But if he is the most major of Australia's neglected poets, what is remarkable is that Rowbotham has continued to write sixty years on, in a confident and lucid voice that transcends single continents and cultures. POEMS FOR AMERICA is certain to earn Rowbotham that elusive literary Oscar.
