1 y separately published work icon Furry Tales Jude Aquilina , Port Adelaide : Ginninderra Press , 2015 8502381 2015 selected work poetry

'Chat, kato, neko, kitska, meo, kedi, cat... No matter where in the world cats have settled, they are cherished by those who adopt them. How amazing it is to have this wild little furry beast, tamed, clean-living, inside your home and obviously enjoying your company (and food). In Furry Tales, Jude Aquilina shares her poetic musings on moggies. She has never lived in a house without cats; between these pages, she celebrates the cats in her life, and other cats with all their glorious, quirky traits. Illustrations by Angelee Theodoros, well-known cat portrait artist, complement the poetry and bring to life Furry Tales - best read with a cat on your lap.' (Publication summary)

1 2 y separately published work icon Tadpoles in the Torrens : Poems for Young Readers Jude Aquilina (editor), Kent Town : Wakefield Press , 2013 6326412 2013 selected work poetry

'Poems are happening all around us - when you're breezing along on your bike seeing people, houses, dogs and traffic as they flash by; when there's a possum on the wall at school and everyone's gathered around; or when the seagulls rise and fall with each ball bowled at the oval.

'Tadpoles in the Torrens is alive with people, places and creatures from our everyday lives and from the quirky imaginations of poets.'
