It's time for the birth of the second batch of 5 new books from Finlay Lloyd Smalls. Julian Davies says “This is a project where we bring together authors, offering each of them 64 pages to write their best little book, and send them out together as an antidote to single-ego, commercial publishing.”

The launch will be held at the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery on 12 September at 2pm.
The new five titles are: FLSmalls 6 by Paul McDermott - Fragments of the Hole: Odds and ends, bibs and bobs, and little bits of nothing. This collection, wonderfully illustrated by the author, contains a haunting parable about a boy and a goat, and a series of poems that are both fiercely ironic and strangely moving.
FLSmalls 7 by Carmel Bird – Fair Game: A Tasmanian Memoir. This long essay is an engagingly personal, playful and thoughtful examination of the arrival in 1832 in Tasmania of a shipload of women, sent to redress the imbalance of genders in that colonial settlement.
FLSmalls 8 by Phillip Stamatellis – Growing up Café. This long lively essay portrays the ‘biography’ of a café in Goulburn in the 1970s and 80s. We witness the café’s passing parade of motley customers through the eyes of the youngest son of the Greek immigrants who run it.
FLSmalls 9 by Timothy Morrell - Don’t Leave Home: A travel Guide. This collection of linked essays explores, with a deft ironic touch, our obsession with travel, in the process taking us to some places that perhaps only the author would want to visit.
FLSmalls 10 by Cassandra Atherton – Trace. This collection of prose poetry creates a naturally intimate world while, at the same time, fluidly examining complex connections between popular and high culture.
