Download or read book New Directions in Contemporary Australian Poetry written by Dan Disney and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to navigate questions of the future of Australian poetry. Deliberately designed as a dialogue between poets, each of the four clusters presented here—“Indigeneities”; “Political Landscapes”; “Space, Place, Materiality”; “Revising an Australian Mythos”—models how poetic communities in Australia continue to grow in alliance toward certain constellated ideas. Exploring the ethics of creative production in a place that continues to position capital over culture, property over community, each of the twenty essays in this anthology takes the subject of Australian poetry definitively beyond Eurocentrism and white privilege. By pushing back against nationalizing mythologies that have, over the last 200 years since colonization, not only narrativized the logic of instrumentalization but rendered our lands precarious, this book asserts new possibilities of creative responsiveness within the Australian sensorium.

Download or read book White Mask written by Sunil Govinnage and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunil Govinnage has been writing poetry in Sinhala since 1965, and in English since 1989. He has published numerous poems in journals and newspapers in Sri Lanka, Australia and the USA. Some of his works have also been broadcast on radio in Sri Lanka and Singapore. In 1998, Govinnage read some of his poetry at the Eleventh Commonwealth Triennial Conference on Literature and Language, held in Kuala Lumpur, along with distinguished poets from Commonwealth countries. White Mask is Govinnage's first collection of poetry to be published. He selects a wide variety of themes such as place, identity, love and despair as his subject matter. He also writes about natural justice, human values, and the environment. Readers will discover powerful imagery and fresh insights, particularly in the way Govinnage has portrayed Australian migrants and Aborigines in his poetry. One of the most remarkable features of Govinnage's poetry is his strong desire to discover new values and explore other interpretations of the Australian continent, its First Nation -- Aborigines --and the new settlers: migrants, both black and white, who have arrived in the country since white colonisation. In Govinnage's poetry, we find not only a nostalgic presence of a rich culture, but the ability to recollect and narrate an interesting interplay between home and exile.

Download or read book Australian Poetry written by Paul Kane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive and original reading of Australian poetry, from the colonial period to the present, through the dual lenses of Romanticism and negativity. Paul Kane argues that the absence of Romanticism functions as a crucial presence in the poetry of all the major Australian poets. This absence or negativity is both thematic and structural, and Kane's scrupulous analyses uncover important relations between Romanticism and negativity. Chapters on nine individual poets explore and substantiate the theoretical claims informed by the work of contemporary critics of Romanticism and by various philosophers of negativity. These chapters can serve as a series of self-contained readings of Australian poets for the use of students, scholars, and informed general readers. Australian Poetry is unique in its sustained argument and theoretical sophistication.

This anthology highlights the complexity of Asian Australian interactions between cultures and languages, and is a landmark in a rich, diversely-textured and evolving story. Timely and proactive this anthology fills existing cultural gaps in poetic expressions of home, travel, diaspora, identity, myth, empire and language.
