Education
	Educating Psyche: Imagination and the Unconscious in Learning by Bernie Neville Educating Psyche is about the psyche – the whole mind – and calls on what we have learned from Jung, Freud, Coué, Assagioli, Moreno, Erickson and other students of the mind to tell us how we might go about creating a fully human education. It is also about Psyche the goddess, and it explores her myth, and the myths of other gods, as images of the other side of education – the side neglected by teachers who think that teaching means simply telling them (their students) things.

	The Stories Inside by Kay Arthur The Stories Inside doesn’t try to explain adolescence; it allows the reader to explore issues through gritty, honest stories. The book is an ideal resource for classroom use. It invites young people to tell their own stories and to create their own fictions. It encourages us to read, to laugh and to cry; but most of all, it encourages us to write. Imprint: Flat Chat Education More Information (PDF)

Poetry
	A Rosebush Grabs My Sleeve by Myron Lysenko A collection of haiku. Haiku: the poetic form devoted to creating moments of sudden, subtle, deeply-resonant insight. Haiku deploys imagery stripped of rationalisation. It disciplines the poet to show rather than to tell. Imprint: Flat Chat Poets More Information (PDF)

	The Barrier Range: A Journey to Broken Hill - Burke & Wills by Ray Liversidge Early in the 21st Century, poet Ray Liversidge decided to seek out his long-lost uncle in Broken Hill.

	You, Me, Us … Nuts by Sandon Mcleod Sandy’s poetry is beautiful, at times brutal, always breath-taking. Sandon Mcleod was a mother, an editor and a hell of a poet. Among Sandy’s adventures were trashing a hotel room with Skyhooks; traveling around the country on a motorbike; getting married in Darwin because she’d never done that before (and getting divorced six months later because she had ‘done it now’); ditching steady work in her 40s to again study writing, and starting a successful poetry festival, with neither money nor experience.
