Download or read book Speaking the Earth s Languages written by Stuart Cooke and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking the Earth’s Languages brings together for the first time critical discussions of postcolonial poetics from Australia and Chile. The book crosses multiple Languages, landscapes, and disciplines, and draws on a wide range of both oral and written poetries, in order to make strong claims about the importance of ‘a nomad poetics’ – not only for understanding Aboriginal or Mapuche writing practices but, more widely, for the problems confronting contemporary literature and politics in colonized landscapes. The book begins by critiquing canonical examples of non-indigenous postcolonial poetics. Incisive re-readings of two icons of Australian and Chilean poetry, Judith Wright (1915–2000) and Pablo Neruda (1904–1973), provide rich insights into non-indigenous responses to colonization in the wake of modernity. The second half of the book establishes compositional links between Aboriginal and Mapuche poetics, and between such oral and written poetics more generally. The book’s final part develops an ‘emerging synthesis’ of contemporary Aboriginal and Mapuche poetics, with reference to the work of two of the most important avant-garde Aboriginal and Mapuche poets of recent times, Lionel Fogarty (1958–) and Paulo Huirimilla (1973–). Speaking the Earth’s Languages uses these fascinating links between Aboriginal and Mapuche poetics as the basis of a deliberately nomadic, open-ended theory for an Australian–Chilean postcolonial poetics. “The central argument of this book,” the author writes, “is that a nomadic poetics is essential for a genuinely postcolonial form of habitation, or a habitation of colonized landscapes that doesn’t continue to replicate colonialist ideologies involving indigenous dispossession and environmental exploitation.”

Download or read book Corroboree to the Sun written by Ian Mudie and published by Strong & Bold Pty Limited. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian Mudie (1911-1976) was a man well ahead of his time who produced a body of work that deserves to be kept alive.A review of the collection by Dave Mack observes that: "The poet is watcher, gatekeeper of Truth, Whistle-blower, Elder, and true to his cause, Contrarian. Ian Mudie is all of this. His poetry (as represented in this fine collection) speaks from the heart with conviction and vigour. Employing vivid, elemental images of nature he pulls no punches and makes no concessions to those in his sights. .........Fiercely nationalistic with a strong sense of justice and equity, Mudie is driven by the conviction that white man has much to learn from our Indigenous cousins and bemoans the destructive influence of British Imperialism, in particular, its detrimental impact on the Australian environment and its original custodians. .................... Mudie was very active in the Australian literary scene, became editor in chief at Rigby Ltd. and organised the Adelaide Festival's world renowned Writers' Week from its inception in 1960 to 1972. A man of many talents, Mudie left a rich vein of images, notions and emotions derived from razor sharp perception and insight. He helps to remind us of the things that really matter in our lives and forces us to reflect on the State of Things as they stand today. And this is his greatest legacy. He reminds us that life, like the environment that sustains it, is fragile and tenuous as well as unique. And it is up to us, the guardians of the present and future to learn from the past and respect those customs and practices that sustain life and respect the land on which it depends. Mudie reminds us that we walk on a knife edge in a world that has lost its balance; and if we are not careful we could find ourselves at the tipping point in an instant." (Dave Mack's complete review is available to read on our website).
