There’s Something About Trump

 

Let’s Ask Hank the Yank

“All the Kings horses and all the Kings men, Couldn’t put Humpty back together again!”

Written with underlying humour and laced with contextual cynicism, There’s Something About Trump, presents a mirrored interpretation of real-World outcomes.

Rowell has presented an interesting narrative whilst interpreting the press releases of the Donald Trump administration alongside personal commentary on the underlying statements therein.

About the Author

 

Douglas Michael Rowell is by now credibly able to call himself an author, having successfully written and presented this as his third published book. Never in his wildest dreams did he consider that he would rise to such a level of literary accreditation. He is a humble 88-and-a-half-year-old pensioner. Doug claims that he is able to claim the extra half as he is over 80 years of age.

Most of his academic life, he strived to become a professional engineer, and by practice to be a fellow of that grand institution. Most of his working life, he ventured into the realms of engineering science, making runs along the way.

He now lives in a single-bedroom unit in a delightful Retirement Village called Forest Grove, in Durack, Brisbane. Doug considers his village life to be something akin to the Garden of Eden.

The sweetness of dust

‘I guess it’s not surprising. As the living get quieter, the dead get louder.’

In her debut poetry collection The sweetness of dust, Amanda Kube explores what it feels like to close the book on a five generation Wimmera-Mallee farm. Moving deftly between shifts in time and perspective Kube draws us into daily life, where forebears are never far – ‘a glimpse, a shadow, disappearing around the corner’ – providing solace and admonishment.

More tender confessional than outback yarn, Kube’s gaze is wide open; embodied and lyrical. The women of this place step forward and tell stories of loneliness, isolation, and endless chores that sit alongside moments of quiet revelation. The farm always the central, nameless character – both cradle and constraint – connecting this restless family to Wotjobaluk presence. Walk with Adelene who has gone before. She circles the farm, still feeling the gravitational pull to place, with some things on her mind.
