Deep Water publication day!

Today marks the Australian publication of my new book, Deep Water: The World in the Ocean. It’s a really special moment for me: I first began thinking about it more than 20 years ago, and the process of writing it has consumed most of the past two or three years of my life.

“Everything flows and nothing abides HERACLITUS”
James Bradley, Clade

“Overhead the birds are calling, their cries seeming to fill the air. As I watch, they rise, flinging their bodies against the sky, intent upon the moment, spinning and turning like embers or smoke upon the air. I envy them, this life of theirs, the way they live so free of themselves, they are without past, without future, an exaltation of life beating in so many parts, rising up into the infinity of space. Watching them I find I want to weep, and yet I have no tear.”
James Bradley, The Resurrectionist

“To the north the Indonesian Air Force strafed Australian ships that were attempting to repel refugees from Indonesia and Timor and Papua. In”
James Bradley, The Silent Invasion
