The Earth Will Outshine Us

The Earth Will Outshine Us

Kathryn Fry

Ginninderra Press
2021
pokkari
'From quandongs to Covid-19, from a grandchild discovering Neptune's necklace to small butterflies darting "as if in time to Ross Edwards' Ecstatic Dances..." this second book from Kathryn Fry offers a kaleidoscopic dazzle of imagery from the natural world. In a vividly recognisable Australian landscape, her poems are rich in scientific curiosity and knowledge, but also grounded and emotionally connected to everyday life. There is a delightful buoyancy in the writing: an enthusiasm for the way we live in our contemporary world which offers many "hallelujahs" and "blessings" as well as poignant insights. The Earth Will Outshine Us is an impressively original and timely collection.' - Jean Kent'Reading Kathryn Fry's fine poems of nature and art, I was suddenly thinking of Simon Schama's monumental Landscape and Memory. But where Schama explains, analyses and informs, Kathryn Fry - delicately, precisely - evokes, unveils, delights and reminds. To misquote from her poem "The Earth Will Outshine Us", these poems are "a lesson // in seeing". And feeling: for the art and science of being sentient to the fragile beauties of this world and its people.' - Brook Emery

To Speak of Grasses is a 2025 collection of poetry by Australian poet Kathryn Fry, following previous collections published by Ginninderra Press: Green Point Bearings (2018) and The Earth Will Outshine Us (2021). To Speak of Grasses concerns itself, through the extensive use of imagery, with the realms of nature, music, art and the emotional landscape of close relationships, some spanning several decades.The three sections are: 'Suspended': as poems of witness mainly to the natural world in places on the west and east of this country;'In the Company of Lovers' which has poems about music, art and current, close personal relationships;and 'Walking Each Other' with its emphasis on the legacy of past experiences.(Jenny Blackford)Kathryn Fry's poems in To Speak of Grasses combine admirable precision with equally impressive lyricism. Her clear, loving descriptions of the natural world are carefully scientific as well as poetic. Plants, landscape, animals, her family and others are treated with the same close observation and love.

Do you, Edna Constance Bathsheba, take Stephen John Elvis to be your lawfully wedded husband? I did.After many, many years of marriage and many, many children, I've decided it's only fair to share my unparalleled expertise and deepest secrets with you in my new book, How To Have an Almost Perfect Marriage. Of course, the 'him' to whom I refer is my current husband, Stephen. You may be aware of his numerous books, his countless television shows and his enormous intellect. You probably know he spends his time travelling endlessly, attending operas, meeting famous stars of stage and screen and visiting tribespeople in the remotest corners of the globe. That's if you read all that rubbish he writes on Twitter, anyway – honestly, that man's imagination!If you frequent the Dog & Duck, however, you'll know the truth. Or the Red Lion. Or Kev’s kebab van. Because that's where you'll almost certainly find him. Not dining at the Ritz or filming something about wizards in New Zealand and certainly not at home helping me take care of our five children. Or is it six? Actually, it might be seven now...Of course, you can't realistically expect to have a marriage as perfect as ours, which is why I've called the book How To Have an Almost Perfect Marriage, but whether you're a husband-, wife- or divorcee-to-be or just simply Fry-curious, you'll learn everything you need to know, and quite a lot you don't, about the most wonderful years of your life as these nine chapters guide you through every aspect of marriage from proposal to divorce, enhanced by my own candid diary entries, incomparable poems and world famous mouth-and eye- watering recipes...

'The story of Brawn GP is legendary... Exciting and magical.' Damon HillForeword by Bernie Ecclestone____________________________The full story of F1's incredible 2009 championship battle has never been told. Until now.At the end of 2008, Nick Fry, then head of Honda's F1 team, was told by his Japanese bosses that the motor company was pulling out of F1. In response, Nick and chief engineer Ross Brawn persuaded Honda to sell them the company for £1 - a gamble that would take the team all the way to winning the 2009 Driver's and the Constructor's Championship with a borrowed engine, a heavily adapted chassis and, at least initially, no sponsors.Giving the inside track on the drivers, the rivalries, on negotiating with Bernie Ecclestone and on hiring and working with global superstars Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton, Survive. Drive. Win. is a gripping memoir of how one man found himself in the driving seat for one of the most incredible journeys in the history of motor sport.'Nick Fry and Ed Gorman take us behind the mysterious and tightly closed doors of F1 to tell the remarkable story of the 2009 season.'

Dick Whittington and his cat

Dick Whittington and his cat

The Choir Press

What do you think of when anyone mentions to you the words "Dick Whittington"? For most people, maybe the first words that spring to mind might be "cat", "mayor", or "pantomime" ... However, there is more to this fellow than meets the eye. You see, Dick Whittington was real. He existed. Born in the 1350s, he grew up to be a wealthy businessman, using his wealth to pay for public projects. He was a Councilman for London, Alderman and Sheriff of the City of London (but not all at the same time!). He was a friend of kings and mayor of London, no less than 4 times - and, as regards the pantomime, this was first performed around 1814 and continues as a firm favourite amongst pantomime goers to this day! Now, in this delightful little book, Eileen Fry describes some less well known facts about this most charismatic character from history . Many of the places associated with him can still be visited today, including St Michael Paternoster Church in London, where he is buried (though the exact burial site itself is not known).
