A Pattern of Shades is funny, thoughtful and moving. It's an authentic, biting, yet sympathetic portrait of rugged, communal life on Great Barrier Island in the 80s. It's 1984, Robert Muldoon calls a snap election, and on a remote gulf island, a group of young mums decide to hold an election night ball with a special floorshow. Mouse, an introverted single mum, living in a boatshed and tormented by her inner dragons, has created the floorshow song. For the first time she feels included, invested in a community event. But as the big night looms interpersonal conflicts, infidelities, and revealed secrets threaten to break apart the group. Will Mouse be able to face down her demons, pull her friends together and finally become the person she wants to be?

I¿ve got a little gift for you. I`ve kept it all this time. It¿s a funny little something that I wish was mine.For young children it begins with the sounds of words, and the delight of those sounds. Sounds come before meaning. Delight comes before sense. Silly nonsense turns into fun.These little poems sound good read aloud by an adult or older child, as their true audience is children who have not yet learned to read or are just learning. Simplicity reigns, and the rhythms are often based on familiar chants or nursery rhymes, making it easy for those reading aloud to pick it up.Nonsense poems are a much-neglected genre, but survive in our nursery rhymes, and in the work of some rare poets like A A Milne, who is an inspiration for this work. They are trickier than they look, as they can be as silly as, but not stupid. They can be surreal and bizarre, but not scary, at least too scary. They can allude to situations, but must not attempt to teach. And above all, they have to work as little songs, almost, with fun rhymes to hold them together.

Ever popular thirteenth century Persian poet Rumi acts as poetic inspiration and intermediary in this powerful collection of love poems. At turns sacred and mystical, historic and contemporary, this suite of original verse sparkles with intensity and perceptiveness. Hide Your Eyes: The Rumi Poems explores the fraught interface between divine and profane love, where the mystical and earthly meet. These original poems draw from the world of the poet Rumi, the world of the moon, the guest and the beloved as we approach the joy the terror and the paradox of love.

Extinction Rebellion: A Tribute powerfully realizes the harsh reality of contemporary climate change. Spotlighting the vital issue of our times, the poems here lyrically explore the complexities of what it means to live on the brink of environmental ruin. Extinction Rebellion: A Tribute is rooted in the twilight years when the living faces death and the dead look back. The personal and the global come together in an upsurge of hope, despair and rebellion.

A group of young activists is all that stands between a wood chipping company and an ancient Australian rainforest. But when they discover a decomposing corpse in a logging coupe, they find they are up against more than angry loggers.'Sometimes at night I think they don't like me, and they try and trip me up or turn me around, or I imagine there are other things in the forest. Evil things. I'm not like you. I like the city. I like people. It scares me up here.' Lui looked at the glowing coals of the fire. 'It's not the forest I fear.'
