內容簡介

"Corroboree to the Sun" is a digital compilation of poems written by the acclaimed Australian poet, Ian Mudie, over the period 1934 to 1974. The poems that have been selected are representative of the main themes running through Ian Mudie's poetry: respect for the natural environment; respect for aboriginal peoples; pride in the Australian nation; and recognition of the Australian character. We now realise that Ian Mudie (1911-1976) was a man well ahead of his time who produced a body of work that deserves to be kept alive.The new e-book includes an introduction by South Australian writer and poet Dave Mack and a personal account by Jim Smith who knew Ian Mudie well. Dave Mack observes in his introduction that: "The poet is watcher, gatekeeper of Truth, Whistle-blower, Elder, and true to his cause, Contrarian. Ian Mudie is all of this. His poetry (as represented in this fine collection) speaks from the heart with conviction and vigour. Employing vivid, elemental images of nature he pulls no punches and makes no concessions to those in his sights. .........Fiercely nationalistic with a strong sense of justice and equity, Mudie is driven by the conviction that white man has much to learn from our Indigenous cousins and bemoans the destructive influence of British Imperialism, in particular, its detrimental impact on the Australian environment and its original custodians. .................... Mudie was very active in the Australian literary scene, became editor in chief at Rigby Ltd. and organised the Adelaide Festival's world renowned Writers' Week from its inception in 1960 to 1972. A man of many talents, Mudie left a rich vein of images, notions and emotions derived from razor sharp perception and insight. He helps to remind us of the things that really matter in our lives and forces us to reflect on the State of Things as they stand today. And this is his greatest legacy. He reminds us that life, like the environment that sustains it, is fragile and tenuous as well as unique. And it is up to us, the guardians of the present and future to learn from the past and respect those customs and practices that sustain life and respect the land on which it depends. Mudie reminds us that we walk on a knife edge in a world that has lost its balance; and if we are not careful we could find ourselves at the tipping point in an instant." (Dave Mack's complete review is available to read on our website).Jim Smith remembers: A large fire of redgum wood outside the woolshed at Mt. Serle Station, in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. A large bunch of wide-eyed students, of all ages, listened to Ian's excited, rasping voice whilst he, animated as ever, explained how he loved Australians and his beloved Australia. Ian Mayelston Mudie was a captivating man. His rugged, but pixie-like countenance, belied his six foot tall body and imposing presence. He delighted in banter with everyone, was an interesting man who craved hearing all from his audience. He inevitably illustrated his thoughts with poems which might have taken form the previous evening, or maybe a year beforehand. My station background fitted in with Ian's excitement about all things Australian, and I joined him on many occasions over a period of 12 years. Mt Serle, Chowilla, Adelaide University, Wattle Park Teachers' College "Tea & Damper Club", Victor Harbour and other venues attracted hundreds of attendees, to hear Ian Mudie poems, and his fetching cackle as he laughed with his enthralled audience. Ian had great patience and interest in everyone around him. His signature poem "They'll Tell You about Me", epitomises what we are all about and it always arouses our thinking. When Ian, in his gregarious manner, concluded a forum with this poem, there was always a great deal of nodding and "knowing" looks on his audience's faces. They loved every word he uttered.........
