All My Januaries

Pleasures of Life and Other Essays

About this book

'Somewhere in this world, in this lifetime, there is a place of simple things, of sitting beside a fire with friends, good company, quietly talking, no formidable decisions, no explanations, no threat, no guilt, no anguish. These are the days for walking on country roads.' From iconic author and patron of the Arts, Barbara Blackman, comes  All My Januaries, a new collection of insightful and inspirational personal essays. Ranging over many decades, from her Brisbane childhood and education to her life with famous artist Charles Blackman and her early years as an artist's model, Blackman explores myriad subjects. Using her witty, observant gaze she writes about food, travel, friendship, raising children, being blind, work, solitude and the other pleasures of life.  All My Januaries is a thoughtful and philosophical collection of essays from a classic voice in Australian literature.
