These two volumes are a credit to their publishers. The format of The Equal Heart and Mind, a new departure for UQP, is slightly smaller than the usual paperback. The pages are deckle-edged, and the cover, in brilliant tones of magenta and purple, has its edges folded in on themselves as if to enclose and protect the contents. Very effective! In the National Library production of Birds: Poems by Judith Wright, the poems are accompanied by pictures from the National Library of Australia’s Pictures Collection, many by colonial artists. Paintings such as J.W. Levin’s ‘Rainbow Bee-Eater’ (1838) and E.E. Gostclow’s ‘Black Cockatoo’ (1929) are rarely seen masterpieces. This edition is a collector’s piece, worth buying for the pictures alone. Let’s hope that these two books herald a renewal of interest in Wright and her work.
