'A very fine anthology, with exemplary introductions. It is refreshing to see how much has been done so well.' - Peter Pierce. Wide in scope and bold in ambition, this exciting anthology covers the range of Australian poetic achievement, from early colonial verse through to contemporary work, with a strong recognition of Indigenous voices. This collection brings together great and familiar names with those that deserve better recognition. Including valuable introductory essays by John Kinsella, and biographical notes for all the poets, The Penguin Anthology of Australian Poetry presents the full measure of Australian poetic talent in all its richness and diversity.

James Dawson first published Australian Aborigines in 1881, after deciding that his careful description of the tribes, languages, customs, and characteristics of the indigenous peoples of the western district of Victoria was too bulky for its originally intended publication in a newspaper. Essentially a field-inspired anthropological account of the dwindling Aboriginal population, written before the emergence of anthropology as a formal discipline, Dawson's book draws on his daughter's ability to speak the local languages and attempts a balanced description of a culture he considered ill-used and under-appreciated by white settlers. Minute details about clothing, tools, settlement and beliefs combine to depict a complex society that possessed highly ritualised customs deserving of respect. Dawson also included an extensive vocabulary of words in three indigenous languages that he hoped would facilitate further cross-cultural understanding. His work provides valuable source material for modern researchers in anthropology and linguistics.

La pubblicazione si propone quale tributo a Bernard Hickey e alla sua instancabile attività di ‘ambasciatore della cultura australiana’ in Italia e in Europa e di promotore degli studi postcoloniali. Tra le tematiche approfondite, la ‘riconciliazione’, nella sua accezione più ampia, diventa la direttiva portante lungo la quale – in relazione ad ambiti geografici diversi (Canada, Irlanda, Caraibi, Africa, Australia) – vengono affrontati argomenti quali le migrazioni e le diaspore, l’attraversamento di barriere culturali e ideologiche, il multiculturalismo e l’interculturalismo, le contaminazioni e i processi di definizione delle identità. La seconda parte del volume è dedicata alla scrittura creativa di autori emergenti e già noti e raccoglie poesie, racconti brevi, traduzioni e memorie personali.
