Sunlight of Ordinary Days: Twelve Poets of the Peter Cowan Writers' Centre

Abstract

'Sunlight of Ordinary Days' is a poetry anthology featuring the work of twelve poets who participated in the Peter Cowan Writers' Centre (Perth) program under the tutelage of Western Australian poets, teachers and literary advocates. Edited by John Charles Ryan and with a preface by Andrew Taylor, the anthology demonstrates a range of styles, voices and subject matter. The poets are given brief spaces in which to develop something for the reader - a scene, a recollection, an emotion, an idea. The researcher's contribution of poetry to the volume explores the hydrological ebbs and flows of the WA landscape.
