When you're in bed alone and the phone rings at 2.15 a.m., you know that something is wrong. Only someone bad would ring at that hour. Or someone good with bad news, which would probably be worse. The answering machine kicks in with your very own Blast From the Past. In the early 80s, Polly was a seventeen-year-old ideological peace protestor and Jack was a U.S. Army captain stationed at England's Greenham Common and they had a secret and very unlikely affair. No two people could have had more to argue about, save that they couldn't live without each other, yet one day Jack came to the conclusion that he loved soldiering more than Polly and sacrificed their love to be a career army man. Now, sixteen years later, Polly is a lonely thirty-something social services employee and Jack is a four-star general who has returned to Britain to find her, his only true love. With only one night to resolve their differences, and a knife-wielding stalker lurking in the shadows, for everyone concerned this will be a night like no other. Cover photograph by Bruce Ayres. -

Dunster: John Mortimer
$12.00Dick Dunster and Philip Progmire - two men locked in adversity since their schooldays, Oxford and into the harsh world and the shifting grounds of marriage. Progmire's thespian longings, nurtured since he was a university actor and through his liaison with the Ophelia to his Hamlet, are now submerged in his work as an accountant with Megapolis Television. But at least he sees actresses on the other side of the canteen and he pursues his taste for drama with the Muswell Hill Mummers. Dunster is also at Megapolis, engaged on an exposé of war criminals, focusing on a blown-up church and the massacre of the whole population of a small town during the Italian campaign. As Dunster researches his subject, the scene darkens and Progmire tries to protect the victim of his old schoolfriend's merciless inquisition. Long after the cessation of hostilities, Dunster and Progmire are still at war. -
Colleen was raised in Bondi, New South Wales, amid post World War II working-class, Irish-Catholic beliefs. She immersed herself in reading to escape a problematic childhood and left school at 15, becoming a shorthand typist as she pursued further education, both formal and informal. During the confrontational yet stimulating Sixties, she became intrigued by a broader political sphere and the poetry, literature and folk music which expressed the frustration of the young against injustice, racism, easy popular sentiment, commercialised American music and - of course - the Vietnam War. Feminism leavened with socialism made sense of her contradictory world. During these turbulent, heady times, Colleen met and formed a relationship with her future husband, folk singer and musician, Declan Affley. This volume of her poetry was released in 1979.
