Jim Aubrey’s work on East Timor, West Papua and Tibet during the 1990s was endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Bishop Desmond Tutu, John Pilger, and Daniel Berrigan SJ. Quoted in several parliaments, his book Free East Timor (editor, Vintage 1998) set the course for a change in foreign affairs policy. After twenty years, Jim Aubrey returns with 20 Dead Canaries & 1 Song of Love, a collection of poems in the quintessential tradition of the poet-activist. Relevant, rebellious and uniquely tuned to our troubled times.

“In this critical time of failed political leadership on climate change and human rights, the obligation of the poet to be relevant and rebellious has never been more important.”
Jim Aubrey
“The life of a poet-activist is not a life of social media - it is pain and suffering, agony and ecstasy, and all that is the calamity and tragedy of a Human Condition lost in war, deceit, dishonour, and unprincipled leadership. There are no daffodils, no rhyming cleverness, no chirping birds in poetic flight – but there is a devotion to the Living Condition and my hand on my heart.”
