Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New collection from award-winning poet John MateerIn a sequence of 64 sonnets, John Mateerdescribes the encounters of an alter-ego, Joao, as he travels across the globe,attending festivals and readings, meeting with friends, lovers, and often-famousfellow authors. Questioning identity, melancholy in disposition, troubledby dreams and memories, Joao is also an innocent, and given to moments ofillumination and joy. Mateer is both ironic and affectionate in his treatmentof this picaresque figure, creating through his sonnet sequence a narrativewhich is new in Australian writing, the worldwide adventures of the poet as anti-hero, one who, despite his disappointments, still believes in the power of literatureto create a sense of belonging, and to invoke 'the deep mandala of meeting andfriendship'. 'JohnMateer is a poet with a peripatetic sense of self who is fascinated bycross-cultural historical currents and transformationshis poems frequentlyregister how history and its associated human ambitions and cruelties taint orinflect much that we know.'

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Portuguese traders who brought Europe to Japan in the sixteenth century were known as 'southern barbarians'. In his new collection John Mateer offers a contemporary re-charting of the Portuguese Empire. This empire is a fugitive one, notable for its saudade, its awareness of loss, its yearning for a world that appears only intermittently in this one, as an echo, a trace, a memory. At its heart is the figure of the poet, as migrant, tourist, desterrado. His identity is inhabited by other identities, just as the place he is in reminds him of other places. Haunted by doubles and reflections, accompanied by 'spirit guides' who pass between this world and the other, he is both ghostly and connected wherever he goes, and connected precisely because of his ghostliness.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. JohnMateer's previous poetry book SouthernBarbarians traced the influence of the Portuguese empire in the IndianOcean it was shortlisted for the PM's Award for Poetry and the NSW andVictorian Premiers' Literary Awards. Unbelievers,or The Moor takes this exploration one step further, to recover its Arabicand Islamic origins in Al-Andalus, the Moorish state which occupied much ofpresent-day Spain and Portugal from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries. Aseat of learning and culture, which combined Muslim, Christian and Jewishinfluences, it provides a model for Mateer's own mixed background as a SouthAfrican Australian, and for his nomadic identity as a poet. The collection ismuch concerned with influential but invisible histories; with the poem as amoment of connection between languages and cultures, so that it seems alreadyto exist in translation; with doubles and hauntings, friends in far places, andabove all, what Mateer calls 'the irony of Elsewhere'.
