Gone: Satirical poems: New & Selected published through Greywacke Press who published his earlier collection of satirical poems, Ballad, Satire & Salt - A Book of Diversions, from which selections have been made for Gone, brings together a diverse range of metrical constructions including villanelles, sonnets, raunchy ballads and whimsical ballades. There is an invigorating, sardonic edge to Oliver's poetic, driven by an often oblique and dark humour. The ballad, for instance, is a demotic form, but it takes a particular skill (one Oliver owns to a high degree) to write with the kind of verve that enlivens rhythms both comic and colloquial. Here we have tales of murder, drunkenness and debauchery. We live in the Age of the Anthropocene. Oliver deftly lampoons a world consumed by its own narcissistic concerns.'Composed over the course of the last few decades, and displaying an enormous range in voice and form, these poems find focus in the struggle between art and amusement, both with respect to the writer who creates and the audience that consumes. Consequently, while always entertaining, the poems also often possess a subtle power to disturb and provoke, an effect that in the best examples leave you almost feeling guilty for having so much fun while reading them'. - Jefferson Gaskin, AntipodesStephen Oliver's collections of poetry include: Henwise, Hawk Press, 35pp (1975); & interviews, Horizontal Press, 68pp (1978); Autumn Songs, Horizontal Press, 20pp (1978); Letter To James K.

The Song of Globule is a collection of 80 sonnets, pursuing the oneiric preoccupations of a young femal protagonist living in Sydney who, if not suffering from multiple personality disorder, is certainly a fantasist. Her sensibilities are continuously informed by a chorus of legendary heroines, both real and mythological. The collection ends with a rendering of Ovid's fifteen epistolary poems, Heroides, forming a coda to our heroine's vertiginous journey.

This collection of prayers and readings is intended as a flexible resource for use in pastoral ministry.The material covers pastoral situations of all kinds, with chapters on:- House and home- New life- Relationships- Baptism and confirmation- Healing and wholeness- Death and bereavement
