<\/a>Political, profound, profane. These poems of defiant disobedience crash through the barriers erected to keep us contained. Writing with humour and tenderness, Ali Whitelock takes us through the parched landscape of life, death, love, fear, regret and the unbearable sadness of losing a dog.<\/p>\nA New Name for the Colour Blue<\/em><\/a>

<\/a>The debut literary crime novel by former ABC current affairs broadcaster Annette Marner, A New Name for the Colour Blue<\/em><\/a>, is influenced by her decades of reporting on male violence towards women and girls.

<\/a>Abounding with larger-than-life characters, Searching for the Spirit<\/em><\/a> traces the history of theosophy from its rise in the 1870s through its heyday in the 1920s to its relative decline in the 1930s. Although always tangential as a quasi-religious spiritual movement, it had an effect disproportionate to its numbers and paved the way for more recent spiritual movements that bloomed in the 1960s.<\/p>\nMarra: The making of men<\/em><\/a>

<\/a>Locked in a cell by her stepmother, Snow grows small but she still grows. Even so, she\u2019s hardly a match for a world gone wild, where the sun has disappeared behind clouds for good. The night the hunter takes her into the forest with orders to cut out her heart, Snow makes him a promise she isn\u2019t sure she can keep. And then she runs.<\/p>\nTaking Down Evelyn Tait<\/em><\/a>
