1 y separately published work icon Lightning Shades Jessica Raschke , Port Adelaide : Ginninderra Press , 2021 21048232 2021 selected work poetry

'Lightning Shades traverses the mysteries of existence, from the ambiguities that lie within our inner lives, to the liminal spaces we occupy throughout life and death, sleeping and waking, growth and decay, and all the paradoxes that abound within those realms. Jessica Raschke's poetry holds us tenderly as it explores how we are haunted and haunting. With beauty and grace, it reminds us to pay attention to our lives, loves and losses at every turn.'

1 y separately published work icon "Riding the Ethnic Bandwagon": Multiculturalism, Whiteness and Cultural Difference in Australian Publishing and Literature Jessica Raschke , Melbourne : 2004 Z1307069 2004 single work thesis This thesis offers a history of the confluence of forces that have contributed to understandings, representations and uses of writers deemed 'ethnic' or 'multicultural' in Australia, particularly since the introduction of the official multiculturalism policy in the mid-1970s. It examines several significant cultural arguments about multiculturalism and literature, and the connections between the psyche of 'whiteness', 'ethnic' or 'multicultural' writers and writing, government policy, and interventions by publishers, academics, and institutional bodies in Australia. It introduces contemporary authors and texts into the arena of public debate at a time when multiculturalism is in question.
