  ‘Peter Yeldham’s historical fiction pedigree is one of the best in the country.’ - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 
  Luke Elliott and Claudia Marsden have fallen in love at a perilous time. The Second World War is raging in the Pacific, barbed wire and gun emplacements are strung along Sydney's northern beaches in preparation for invasion. As the war moves closer, their ‘sextet’ of loyal school friends is splintering as individual career dreams are pursued. Luke yearns to be a writer, but a start in journalism is proving challenging. The war’s end unexpectedly provides Luke’s big break, but the pursuit of his dream will keep him away from Australia and Claudia, with surprising consequences for them both. 
  “Above The Fold is a big-hearted novel that explicitly examines notions of love and loyalty … Anyone who enjoys reading about post-war Australian history and the attitudes that informed much of it, will be delighted.” - GABRIELLE LORD, AUTHOR OF DISHONOUR 
  “Written with meticulous detail, this is an engaging story spanning a tumultuous period in Australian history.” 
  - NICOLE ALEXANDER, AUTHOR OF THE GREAT PLAINS

  Beautiful False Things - Poems

  Irving Feldman

  This volume from the two-time National Book Award-finalist offers “splashes of beauty, yes–but also a fountain of shameless knowing and inspired telling” (Cynthia Ozick).   This tenth collection of Irving Feldman’s poems extends what readers and critics have long recognized to be a body of work singular in its extravagant wit, powerful storytelling, variety of voices and range of feeling—playful, tender, ardent, biting, enthralled. Here, among the major poems of Beautiful False Things: the stand-up comic Larry Sunrise of “Funny Bones’ duels with death in Florida; in “Oedipus Host,” Oedipus arrives from his millennia-long trek to host a TV talk show; and the plucky, feminist heroine of “Heavenly Muse” visits yet another barely worthy male poet. In the tragicomic title poem, “translation” comes to stand for the dilemmas of expression in a culture that sucks up language and spews it back.   The renowned poet J. D. McClatchy called Feldman “our best fabulist, Franz Kafka’s imagination combined with S. J. Perelman’s ear, and everywhere his own buoyant, driving line.” The poems collected here demonstrate why the Guggenheim Fellow and National Book Critics Circle Award-finalist is deserving of such high praise.
