Dusty and other stories

In this collection of short stories and verse, well-known Coonawarra wine identity Doug Balnaves shares recollections drawn from his long association with and love for rural South Australia.

The stories – humorous, reflective and poignant – reflect both the joys and the heartbreaks of country life. Doug also wittily points up differences between country and city, and pokes gentle fun at trying characters from all walks of life.

This book is a lovely reminder that telling stories is our way of making sense of the world. There is something in this for everyone. – Jessica Alice. Director, Writers SA

Reason & Passion

Reason and Passion is a collection of poetry pieces crafted through a meditative and unique lens. Within this book lie writings of philosophy, perceptions of the world, and personal experience.

Through these short poems, there is a hope to revivify others with a newfound love of the world, a love of language and intentional living.

Among the hills, where the trees grow in purposeful harmony, it is clear that reason rests with the forest.

Yet through the harsh forest fire that blazes through the innocent leavers, it is clear that passion rests in the forest.

Like an arcane forest at the mercy of the elements, you too shall rest in the cool shade of reason and move with passion’s fire.

Beneath the Shimmer

Around us beautiful things shine.

An ocean under moonlight.

Diamonds on the curve of a neck.

A lover’s eyes through candlelight.

All glints between the shadows.

We choose whether to step inside.

To meet the story.

Darkness. Sorrow. Great radiance.

Whatever lies amid the light.

We can find it.

It depends only on whether we pause

and look

beneath the shimmer.

Only When My Soul Shakes

A selection of poems.

My reality is based on dreams.

My dreams around reality.

Forever the search to have one without the other.

But how do I separate the two when they are based around each other.

PAPERBACK

Oz, Becoz!

This book is basically an Australian’s autobiography origins, personal growth, and development, including living with schizophrenia medication, ie “how I survived the baby boom.” My philosophical thoughts, protestant Christian Bible interpretation, and descriptions of my travel experiences are on display, mingled with “good humour.”

Never really an “Ocker,” I have always had a love of our English language: it’s always a surprise, its rules always mysterious and rhyming poetry is a wonderful challenge. Describing our world is best kept simple. I do like Kipling, for example, but here is my own style of Poetry, using rhyme, rhythm and colloquial English.

About the Author

He has sought, from ninety-nine,
His “one” to save, His choice , not mine; We cannot earn His Grace divine.
It’s long ago He planned a line

Of people He would call “elect,” It’s not the way you would expect; It’s all “on Him” – we have no say – Not “what we do,” “He is the Way!”

Our Jesus died for all our sin, Atonement made, “to let us in,” And only He could qualify –
God’s Son that they would crucify.

To prove all this, He rose again,
To live in Heav’n, eternal reign:
This completed, saving us,
We want to spread the Word – It’s thus:

No other “faith” a future gets, New bodies for us, no regrets; To worship Him, how wonderful, He’s ev’rything, “His cup is full!”
