Drawing together all of the work from a remarkable Welsh poet, this collection celebrates John Ormond. Typically unsentimental and meticulously crafted, these poems--many of them elegiac--probe Ormond's Welsh roots, explore problematical areas of feeling, and center on particular aspects of the natural world. Including some previously unpublished material, this compilation also features commentary on the poet's writing, shedding light on the author's allusions, meanings, and inspirations.

In World War I, 35 relatives of the Collins family aged between 18 and 57 volunteered for service - 15 came from the Collins side while 20 were from the Byrne side. Some never passed the enlistment process. Of those who served overseas, many were injured and a saddening percentage died. With interest in the war high due to its centenary, this book honours those who answered the call by detailing their service and lives using primary documents and the vast amount of resources available for researchers. It is hard to say whether these veterans cover the full range of Australia's involvement during the Great War, from being enlisted for a few weeks at the end of the war to dying, but there is no denying the 34 men and one woman whose lives are recorded here encompass a broad range of the Australian experience during the conflict.

In his many-sided tradition St George, the patron saint of England, has been seen over the centuries as a healer and champion of Christian orthodoxy; as a military martyr and symbol of chivalry; and as a symbol of military virtues and English identity. Today, as that identity changes, he is an inclusive multicultural symbol of unity and justice.
