[But while] searingly honest and sometimes darkly funny... it is the interplay between the particular and the general that is most invigorating about Vagabondage...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eANDY JACKSON, AUSTRALIAN POETRY JOURNAL\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVagabondage is much more than a travellers tale. Though it does indeed chart one year in Spencer’s life when she was a gypsy, travelling the country in her camper van alone, each poem builds up to a memoir of deep self-reflection on what it means to be alive on this earth. The book is a joy to read, mingling lighthearted observation with deep, warm and above all intimate introspection that the reader is invited to join, so that the journey becomes a shared one between the poet and the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eMAGDALENA BALL, COMPULSIVE READER\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBook details\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePUBLICATION DATE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2014\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFORMAT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXTENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 152 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 234 x 156 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9781742586342\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIGHTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e World\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCATEGORY:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/beth-spencer\"\u003eBeth Spencer\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/biography-and-autobiography\"\u003eBiography and Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/poetry\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"UWA Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":809685531,"sku":"9781742586342","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0542\/4573\/products\/vagabondage_cover.jpg?v=1409299646"},{"product_id":"paul-hasluck-a-life","title":"Paul Hasluck: A Life (paperback)","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/uwap.uwa.edu.au\/collections\/geoffrey-bolton\"\u003eGeoffrey Bolton\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir Paul Hasluck was for almost two and a half decades one of Australia’s most prominent politicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Fremantle in 1905 and educated at Perth Modern School and The University of Western Australia, Hasluck worked for The West Australian and lectured at The University of Western Australia before moving into politics in 1949.

White’s searching ruminations about the implications of her lifelong deafness together with her scholarly research of Maud Praed – the deaf daughter of nineteenth- century Queensland expatriate novelist Rosa Praed – and dive into deaf studies resound with tension, drama and insight without yielding to sentiment or polemic. By navigating Maud’s heartbreaking story of being deaf in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,White locates her own personal Australian experiences of growing up deaf within the panorama of deaf history. In doing so, she not only arrives at an enriched understanding of her deaf self, but also provides a uniquely Australian contribution to the literature of, about and by deaf people. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDonna McDonald\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Art of Being Deaf: A Memoir \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eJack’s Story\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Hearing Maud Jessica White fulfils, with grace, elegance and a fierce regard for truth-telling, writing’s primary task: to tell it as it is; but as no one has ever told it before.
