In I Love Poetry Michael Farrell continues to affirm poetry as a mode of thinking. His poems aspire to both memorability and meaning, and to invoke new Australian realities - 'the rhyme's a moral that becomes a fence; a fallen-down fence is a joy forever.' The tone is playful and ironic, more under the skin of the mind than in its face. Poems like 'Into a Bar', in which Blue Poles and INXS entertain themselves with digital prune juice and a video burger, or 'Cate Blanchett and the Dif cult Poem', with the actor and Waleed Aly, add new dimensions to Australian icons. 'Great Poet Snowdome' is a story of kitsch involving Sydney and a pope - a recurring gure in the book, since he reappears as Pope Pinocchio, alongside the Professor of Milk and Sugar. There's a Mad Max riff ('Put Your Helmet On'); a One Direction revision ('Drag Me Down'); and new appreciations of lyrebirds, kangaroos and chocolate frogs. There is Sid Vicious and there are lamingtons. There is everything that loves poetry: Weetbix, Iron Maiden T-shirts, motorbikes, and you.

This book is the fruit of the first ever interdisciplinary international scientific conference on Matthew's story of the Star of Bethlehem and the Magi, held in 2014 at the University of Groningen, and attended by world-leading specialists in all relevant fields: modern astronomy, the ancient near-eastern and Greco-Roman worlds, the history of science, and religion. The scholarly discussions and the exchange of the interdisciplinary views proved to be immensely fruitful and resulted in the present book. Its twenty chapters describe the various aspects of The Star: the history of its interpretation, ancient near-eastern astronomy and astrology and the Magi, astrology in the Greco-Roman and the Jewish worlds, and the early Christian world at a generally accessible level. An epilogue summarizes the fact-fiction balance of the most famous star which has ever shone. Cover illustration: (c) Michael Farrell"

Farrell wrote only one book, spent all his life doing so, told everybody about it incessantly, didn't live long enough to finish it and startled everybody with its excellence when it appeared. The book centres on the 1916 period and addresses the confusion in the minds of young men who have not yet discriminated between the relative importance of patriotism and personal survival. One of the most irritating questions that all novelists have to field is, "How autobiographical is your book?" In Michael Farrell's case the answer feels as though it must be, "totally" but as he's not here to speak for himself let us accept it for the stirring fiction he intended to create. - Frank Delaney in The Guardian
