Bringing together, for the first time, ten years of writing, creating and dreaming into a single volume, The Night Fisher Elegies by celebrated Australian author Dean Mayes is a luminous journey through a mindscape of love, faith and dreams
| THE NIGHT FISHER ELEGIES DEAN MAYES
SYNOPSIS Drawn from 10 years of writing, creating and dreaming, “The Night Fisher Elegies” brings together some of Australian author Dean Mayes’ most personal and compelling compositions into a singular volume. Taking the reader on a journey through love, faith, death, grief, family and dreams, Dean Mayes weaves together moments of reflection that are tinged with melancholy. They traverse the sometimes brutal landscape of self examination. They wander through a palace of memories contained within nostalgic love. They are an experimentation with style, with tone and character. Some pose questions that remain unanswered. Some are designed to evoke and provoke. Some are simply present. The Night Fisher Elegies is Dean’s fifth published work and his first for Hambledown Road Imprints. The author of four novels and an Intensive Care Nurse, Dean Mayes draws on ten years of writing and composition, collecting pieces of short fiction, ghazal poetry and reflective essays into one volume. PUB DATE SEPTEMBER 1, 2022
