You thought we were publishing good writers? You were right, well done there, a lot of the buggers have books out at the moment. Check out this fine list:
A.S. Patric – The Rattler and other stories
“A.S. Patric is that rarest of writers- he is absolutely fearless. His stories take risks, his characters soar and his prose sings. Be careful. These stories might cut you.” – Ryan O’Neill
Fiona Wright - Knuckled
“Sydney Harbour has certainly featured a lot in Australian poetry, just think of Kenneth Slessor’s 5 bells. But now Fiona Wright has immortalised Sydney’s western suburbs in her first poetry collection; Knuckled.” – Alicia Sometimes
Robert Hollingworth - Smythe’s Theory Of Everything
“Hollingworth continues his exploration of the voice seldom heard in this moving tale about youth, aging and self-redemption.”
“This is an intimate and deftly crafted collection of poems. Nunn writes with a photographic eye and painter’s sensibility“ – Kevin Gillam
Tim Sinclair (PAN’s own Poetry Editor) - Re: Reading The Dictionary
“Tim Sinclair’s ‘Re: reading the dictionary’ ought to be printed on a the back of a T-Shirt. Everyone from the guy at the supermarket checkout to the pack of teenagers on the train should read it.” – Bel Schenk
And from our first issue:
Pip Smith - How To Reason with Snakes
“An incredibly moreish collection of poems.” – Dale Slamma
Vanessa Berry - Strawberry Hills Forever
“The most beautiful ride straight from your place into Vanessa’s mind. Get yourself a ticket, fast.”
Josephine Rowe - How A Moth Becomes A Boat
“The characters are haunted by memory and we often catch them in a moment of decision, or in the contemplation of one. Each story manages to lull you with its magic so that you think you know where it is headed until, with a flick of its tail, it disarms you in its final sentences.”
