Skelligs Haul is a generous compilation of Michael Kirby's prose
and poetry, appealing for his simple, elegant style, his knowledge
of unique local lore, and his inimitable observations. Kirby, a man
who spent nearly every day of his ninety-nine years on the
beautiful Iveragh peninsula, apart from a brief period in the
United States, knew better than most that survival demanded
persistence, passion, civility and good humour. In the shadow of
the World Heritage site of Skellig Michael, he eked out a living
fishing and farming with intimate knowledge of every inch of sea
and soil. This volume, organised thematically, demonstrates Kirby's
great gift of expressing the artist's fresh, passionate insight in
elegant, plain language and with the dispassionate slant of a
scientist. His knowledge of local birds and fish was as
encyclopaedic and forensic as his grasp of place names. Referred to
as `one of the last authentic expressions of the Gaelic tradition,
artlessly fusing the worlds of flesh and spirit', he was a mystic
who found his God, his solace and serenity in every living thing in
Iveragh. This book includes some dual texts of poems freely
translated from Irish by Kirby, showing that his inward eye led to
verse in both the romantic vein and the fine tradition of
Irish-language religious verse. This collection also presents
reproductions of his landscape paintings, an introduction by poet
Paddy Bushe and an editor's preface and note.
Michael Kirby presents a penetrating look a theater theory and
analysis. His approach is analytically comprehensive and flexible,
and nonevaluative. Case studies demonstrate this unique approach
and record performances that otherwise would be lost.
The year was 1945. The place was San Francisco. The topic was the
world. Ashley Hogan tells the story of a moment in human history
when Australia became known for its courage and liberalism. At the
conference that founded the United Nations, Australia spoke to the
Great Powers on behalf of the other nations of the world with a
voice that commanded universal respect. That voice belonged to Dr
Herbert Vere Evatt. Three years later, Doc Evatt's commitment to an
international order that included all nations was rewarded by his
election as President of the General Assembly. His belief that
lasting peace could not be secured without economic and social
justice flowered into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Moving in the Open Daylight is a short book about a big story. For
a world that has once again become rent by inequality and war, it
is an important and inspiring story.
The uneasy pieces of this book are well-written, challenging and
stimulating. They come from the pen of Australian biblical scholars
within the Anglican communion, who are skilled in both exegesis and
hermeneutical theory. Each essay addresses the question of
homosexuality in the Bible, looking at passages in the Old
Testament and the New Testament which are often used as a basis for
rejecting homosexuality in Christian ethics. Each essays argues, on
the contrary, that there is no biblical warrant for condemning
either a homosexual orientation or a faithful and committed
homosexual relationship. The book, as a whole, makes it crystal
clear that both sides of the debate take seriously the Bible as the
inspired word of God, and both are seeking to discern the
Scriptures in order to hear Gods voice speaking to us today.
