'It is again a privilege for us to co-edit another volume of contemporary poetry which juxtaposes the styles of Indian and Australian poets. These anthologies, apart from presenting some of the very best poetry being written today, help develop and strengthen the literary ties between these two very different countries.'

'The poems in this volume will make you appreciate the ground more which nurtures us the mud that grows the beautiful lotus, the dusty dirt that grows the wheat, the rich soils which support our botanical gardens. Some poems will make you laugh, cry, perhaps even infuriate you, and hint at the future, whichever, we guarantee they will move you deeply and create a much expanded understanding of the notion of the land.'

This volume of wonderful poems is a continuation of the literary ties being developed between Australia and India. It is the third anthology in a series published by cyberwit with the aim of expanding and exploring the contemporary of these respective countries. The theme of this collection is broadly, emancipation—personal, social, and political. There are ten poets, five from each country with diverse age, geographical, racial, and religious backgrounds. All are committed, dedicated, and passionate poets. A book to both enjoy and keep as an important reference of contemporary poetry. (Publisher's Summary)

'Women's Writing in English: India and Australia is a collection of essay which sets out to open the possible limits of the women's writing as a literary as well as social discourse. Moving beyond the plot of so-called critical practice it has come to represent a complex web of meaning produced through multiple strategies of reading and interpreting it. The present collection of critical essays represents myriad, interesting and insightful explorations on textuality and inter-textuality of the women's writing of India and Australia, its meaning in recent critical practice. Indian and Australian Women's writing have become intellectual curiosity these days. The contributors of this timely anthology have explored the subject referring to different genres in connection with their traditional and radical interpretation into consideration.'
