BUNDYI ANNOUNCES A NEW BOOK FROM STAN GRANT
Dr Anita Heiss is thrilled to announce that her second acquisition under her Simon & Schuster Australia Bundyi imprint is 'A Song of Time' by author, media commentator and public intellectual, Stan Grant.
In a departure from his recent bestselling non-fiction work Stan says, “‘A Song of Time’ is my meditation on time set against the backdrop of a year of referendum. It was a tumultuous year, and for me personally, a year of upheaval. In this book, I use time as metaphor to ask how we can meet each other again across history. In a personal reflection on the passing of time I reflect on my father’s decline as he faces his final days. Across poetry, philosophy, history, physics and God, I explore what it is to be human.’
On working with Stan, Anita said, ‘Bundyi as an imprint is about showcasing First Nations voices, and Stan’s is one that many of us have listened to and learned from over decades. As an emerging writer myself, I first interviewed Stan when I was in my early twenties, asking him about his time in the Parliamentary Press Gallery in Canberra, and I have followed his career ever since. This new work of Stan’s is poetic prose that has grown out of the Vincent Lingiari lecture he delivered for Charles Darwin University in 2023. ‘A Song of Time’ is a beautiful reflection, and although personal to Stan, it will touch the hearts and minds of his entire audience. For me, it is both a privilege and a necessity to publish his words.’
