Roses on the Moon: An anthology of poetry and prose by Seaside Writers - Softcover

Inside these covers you’ll meet Red, a seasoned bushman stranded by a broken axle in the outback with whining Vince, a cadet roustabout who’s not cut out for the back country. There’s revenge for Stephania Callidora Stephanopoulas. Robert recounts a wartime fishing adventure in Port Moresby with the irrepressible Jonno, guns and hand grenades. There’s romance gone wrong in a quest for perfect love. There are misunderstandings and mother’s travails. Jane finds the longer a lie goes on the harder it is to tell the truth. There is travel and wanderlust. There are Australian sunsets, South Australian wonders, camel racing and all the hues of this vast land. Then there’s Mark, who takes a bicycle and a koala across Africa and finds a worrying, but humorous approach to First Aid. There’s hot air ballooning, Japanese cherry blossom trees and things that come in threes. And, of course, there is man’s best friend... Combine the impossible with the possible and take everyday artefacts to places they have never been. Writing does more than join the words; it joins one concept with another and spills the flowers of our thoughts into something universal, hanging in the sky. Our anthology will take you to the moon.
