Every once in a while nature gives us insight into the human condition by providing us with a unique case whose special properties illuminate the species as a whole. Christopher is such an example. Despite disabilities which mean that everyday tasks are burdensome chores, Christopher is a linguistic wonder who can read, write, speak, understand and translate more than twenty languages. On some tests he shows a severely low IQ, hinting at ineducability, yet his English language ability indicates an IQ in excess of 120 (a level more than sufficient to enter university). Christopher is a savant, someone with an island of startling talent in a sea of inability. This book documents his learning of British Sign Language, casting light on the modularity of cognition, the modality neutrality of the language faculty, the structure of memory, the grammar of signed language and the nature of the human mind.

In July 1864, six Union soldiers were hanged at Andersonville, a Civil War prison camp notorious then and now for its harsh conditions. But the hanged men’s crimes had nothing to do with the war against the Confederacy; they weren’t spies or saboteurs. They were the leaders of a gang—known as The Raiders—who terrorized their fellow Union prisoners in the hell of Andersonville. By June 1864, prisoners had had enough, and camp commandant Henry Wirz (executed after the war) sanctioned the formation of a quasi-police force, the Regulators, with permission to arrest, try, and punish offenders. In less than two weeks, the Raiders were broken up and arrested and hung. Andersonville is one of the most notorious aspects of the Civil War, and this is one instance in which brother-against-brother chivalry did not prevail, not even amongst inmates from the same side. Gary Morgan has dug deep into the historical record to tell this story, which is at once dramatic and historically important.

It was the most witnessed execution in US history.On the evening of July 11, 1864, six men were marched into Andersonville Prison, surrounded by a cordon of guards, the prison commandant, and a Roman Catholic priest. The six men were handed over to a small execution squad, and while more than 26,000 Union prisoners looked on, the six were executed by hanging. The six, part of a larger group known as the Raiders, were killed, not by their Rebel enemies but by their fellow prisoners, for the crimes of robbing and assaulting their own comrades.Who were these six men? Were they really guilty of the crimes they were accused of? Were they really, as some prisoners alleged, murderers? What role did their Confederate captors play in their trial and execution? What brought about their downfall? Relying on military records, diaries, memoirs written within five years of the prison closing, and the recently discovered trial transcript, author Gary Morgan has discovered a version of events that is markedly different from the version told in later day “memoirs” and repeated in the history books. Here, for the first time in a century and a half, is the real story of the Andersonville Raiders.

Mission Beach is a coastal sequence where place becomes the main character.Set among cassowaries, mangroves, fruit bats, cafés, storms, wet roads, sea air, and people passing through or trying to remain, these poems create a living world shaped by tropical weather, memory, community, and solitude.Here, landscape is not background. It presses on every life, altering speech, desire, loneliness, and belonging.Mission Beach is poetry of a coastal place alive with human and non-human presence — a book of atmosphere, weather, character, and the strange intimacy of living near the edge of sea and forest.

Lives is a fierce and deeply attentive collection of poems about contemporary human existence — work, masculinity, grief, technology, family, and the quiet psychological toll of modern systems.Written with the pacing, repetition, and emotional propulsion of music, these poems treat language as an instrument, carrying rhythm, compression, and resonance as much as meaning.Moving through hospitals, offices, pubs, bedrooms, oceans, and waiting rooms, the collection examines how people learn to function, endure, and remain human inside structures that often demand their disappearance.With unsentimental clarity and emotional weight, Gary Morgan writes about survival without heroics, connection without romance, and meaning that arises not from answers, but from staying present when the stories collapse.

Bright is a collection of Australian poems of road, light, memory, and ordinary illumination.These poems move through human weather: work, loneliness, masculine pressure, small towns, roads, rooms, grief, humour, and sudden clarity. They are grounded in daily life but alert to the moments when something opens — a light, a phrase, a landscape, a face, a silence.Bright does not offer easy optimism. Its light is earned. It arrives through difficulty, not away from it.This is poetry of seeing clearly inside ordinary life — poems where the world remains hard, but not without brightness.Bright does not offer easy optimism.

Edge of Intimacy is a deeply reflective poetry collection that explores love beyond romance — as endurance, devotion, loss, and revelation.Through quiet, precise language, these poems move between closeness and distance, tenderness and rupture, capturing the subtle moments where relationships are tested, transformed, or quietly sustained. From the warmth of shared presence in a small room to the vast loneliness of emotional separation, each piece reveals love not as comfort, but as something lived, questioned, and carried.Unflinching yet compassionate, this collection speaks to anyone who has loved deeply enough to be changed by it.

Snowy Mountains is a meditative journey across land, body, and belonging, tracing a family's long passage from the tropical intensity of Broome to the cold, high air of Kosciuszko National Park. Moving between physical travel and inner shift, these pieces explore what happens when climate, place, and habit fall away, and the body is asked to remember something older than comfort.Written with quiet attentiveness, the work dwells in transitions: heat giving way to cold, fatigue to alertness, motion to stillness. Mountains, forest, road, and weather are not backdrop but presences—shaping breath, perception, and identity. The human story unfolds without drama, carried instead by ordinary details: packed vans, thin air in the lungs, the weight of supplies, a child pausing at the edge of a new landscape.

Country DreamingCountry does not simply surround us. It forms us.Country Dreaming is a collection of poems exploring the living relationship between land, people, animals, plants, memory, and self-discovery.Set within the Australian landscape of rare flora and fauna, heat, water, silence, old presence, and movement, these poems ask what it means to be shaped by country—not as scenery, but as force, teacher, and living inheritance.Through human lives, encounters with the natural world, and moments of quiet revelation, Country Dreaming follows the way country enters us, alters us, and reveals something of who we are.At its heart, this is a book about belonging: how land forms identity, how place shapes perception, and how the world around us continues to speak if we learn to listen.

In these poems, ordinary events become points of attention where landscape, memory, loss, humour, love, family, and chance briefly reveal their deeper shape.Set among Australian towns, rivers, mountains, coastlines, and everyday lives, Occurrences gathers moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Some are tender. Some are unsettling. Some are strange enough to remain long after they have ended.

Nothing Assumed Carries is a contemplative collection of poetic reflections moving through silence, loss, presence, and the dissolving edges of self. With quiet precision, these poems explore the impermanence of identity, the shifting nature of joy and sorrow, and the subtle clarity that emerges when we stop grasping for meaning. Rooted in landscape, stillness, and lived experience, the collection invites readers into a deeper awareness—where nothing is owned, nothing is fixed, and life is felt as it passes through. A work of gentle insight and quiet courage, it offers not answers, but a way of seeing.
