    Accidentally, a Book is a collection of essays on reading, writing and drawing. The book is set in Leiden, The Netherlands and tells of its various reading spaces. I explore how the processes of reading, writing and drawing are related: all propel each other. I'm drawn to the materiality of books and their spaces. How access shapes what we read and thus what one may end up writing. The writing of this book also provides some of the context for the establishing of Reading Sideways Press.

    The ferry crossing from Fromentine, on the Bay of Biscay, to Île d'Yeu is new to me, and yet the island's coastline appears as if it were a remembered shore. Halfway into the eleven-nautical-mile passage through a lazy swell, a faint blur smudges the horizon. In the wind, sea gulls sway and swoop. The blur stretches slowly into a black line that rises between sky and water to embody the reddish-brown, rocky shelf of the island's east coast. I am visiting France from Australia this European summer with my wife Monique. Dominique Turbé and his wife also named Dominique Turbé, née Deschamps, whom we have known for many years, now live in the village of Le Temple de Bretagne near Nantes. We are visiting them from Paris with Monique's sister Edith. I suggested a day excursion to the island. Dominique has family links with the old fishing community on the island, and I am mildly curious about the place to which, in 1945, the French state exiled Marshal Pétain, the former President of the Vichy Regime. The ferry rounds the breakwater and enters the harbour at the capital Port Joinville. A white fleet sits in the water, and, around the harbour, whitewashed stone buildings stand in an arc that is centred on la mairie where the French tri-colour hangs on a pole angled high above the entrance. We disembark and the eye adjusts on a hazy morning to the confined space in the port. Bands and blocks of colour stand out on the white surfaces of the boats and buildings.

    Prometheus Pinball adalah museum kenangan terbuka. Sebagian kesaksian pada keberlaluan waktu dalam siklus rumitnya, dan sebagian buku kliping disusun dari potongan-potongan arsip bercampur-aduk dengan ingatan. Sebuah "upacara dalam lingkaran asap obat nyamuk." Jejak-jejak peristiwa, perasaan, dan mata rantainya sudah diperbesar, diselidiki, dipertanyakan, dan disusun ulang dalam bentuk tak terduga yang lentur untuk dipikirkan. Buku baru Afrizal Malna ini bisa disebut sebagai otopuisi atau puibiografi (puing-puing dari biografi). Afrizal menghubungkan titik-titik kehidupan pribadi dengan data-data sejarah menjadi bentuk puisi di mana. yang muskil dan yang gamblang tak dapat dibedakan lagi. Semacam monumen peringatan rapuh dari "kota ina inu." Semacam upaya untuk "mencari asal-usul bersama dari kisah yang jatuh / dan berdiri lagi, dan jatuh lagi - masuk, keluar / dan masuk lagi."Daniel Owen, penyair, penerjemah, New York - Yogya

    There is very much the life and death instinct coursing through the arteries and veins of the collected poems found in Sharp Pencil. The idea of Sharp Pencil is that it offers keen observations about life. It has a loose story arc that references the act of drawing. Section headings called Lines, Shade and so on to Last pages, place the reader within a poetic world.Couplets jive with tercets and quatrains. Melancholy heats the memories that are revealed or confessed and a sense of loss and longing caresses the tips of its met- aphors and the warm stomach of its everyday mode of undress. At the same time, Sharp Pencil's nostalgia for the past brightly steps us into the present and calls forth hopefulness and chants out themetres of love. These are settling poems, refusing to let go of the five o'clock shad- ows they fall upon, while drawing back the net cardinal curtains to let the new day in.Sean Redmond, 2021

    What is our relation to the land? How do we create and foster community? What happens when the social glue that keeps us together starts to dissipate and ties began to weaken?Scott Pearce's debut novel, faded yellow by the winter, explores the tensions that arise in the farming town of Henrithvale: a small, but once prosperous town of north western Victoria. The novel's lead character, Vic, struggles in his bids to save the footy club, his family's inter-generational apple orchards while seemingly losing a grip on his relationships with his wife and daughters.faded yellow by the winter is an accomplished debut from a writer who draws on a vast array of references and styles. The novel helps to call into question farming practices which are over-reliant on water as well as outdated modes of masculinity. The novel hints at unresolved conflicts between First Nations and Settler Australians.This novel is more than just a 'footy novel' and 'regional Australia' novel: it is part realist, part magic-realist, and part-Western. Pearce's novel reflects and engages with some of the many unresolved tensions so many of us would rather ignore."A social realist novel about one of our most biting realities - the withering of rural Australia; its farmlands, its towns and its footy clubs." Martin Flanagan"This is a story of football heroes and dying women. It is also a ghost story, in which the traditions of patriarchy haunt a family and a country town. Writing prose rich with the poetic and the Australian vernacular, Scott Pearce is an exciting new voice in Australian literature. He has written a novel that is uniquely ours and uniquely for our times." Maria Takolander
