HEAT 21 - Without a Paddle - Edited by Ivor Indyk

The summer 2009-2010 edition of HEAT offers a range of literary essays, with poet and critic Kate Lilley on filiation and inheritance in the work of American poet Susan Howe, Peter Craven on the biography of Manning Clark, the man and the writing, and James Ley on the balanced criticism of the awkward Dr Johnson. Jena Woodhouse interviews Michael Hofmann on the art of the translator and that of the poet, while Josiane Behmoiras, en route to interview ‘the priest of speed’, Paul Virilio , reflects on air travel in an age of ecological concern. Saskia Beudel charts the landscapes, Australian and Dutch, handed down through her family. In fiction, Brian Castro explores anxiety with the virtuosity and wit evident in his recent novel The Bath Fugues, Luke Carman’s ‘elegant’ young reader ponders the complications of social intercourse, Ronnie Scott the secret act of smoking, Linden Hyatt grief and bereavment. There are new poems from Fay Zwicky, Anthony Lawrence, Vivian Smith, Chris Price, Pam Brown, John Mateer, Emily Bitto, Sam Byfield, Ken Bolton, Joanne Burns & more. The featured artist is Jon Campbell and his paintings of vernacular expressions, ‘Arvo’, ‘Schnitz and Titz’, ‘Weak as Piss’ and…’Up shit creek’.
