One of The Bookshelf's Best Books of 2019

'A rare gem. This is biography at its best: boldly conceived and brilliantly written. In spare, haunting prose Cathy Perkins rescues Zora Cross from oblivion, re-establishing her as one of Australia's most remarkable literary figures. We see Zora's life through the stories of her relationships with others. The person that emerge —possessed by an irrepressible hunger to write and to be published—is impossible to pin down. In Perkins's hands, Zora Cross dances vividly before our eyes.'— Mark McKenna

Australian poet and journalist Zora Cross caused a sensation in 1917 with her bookSongs of Love and Life. Here was a young woman who looked like a Sunday school teacher, celebrating sexual passion in a provocative series of sonnets. She was hailed as a genius, and many expected her to endure as a household name alongside Shakespeare and Rossetti. While Cross's fame didn't last, she kept writing through financial hardship, personal tragedies and two world wars, producing an impressivebody of work. Her verse, prose and correspondence with the likes of Ethel Turner, George Robertson (of Angus & Robertson) and Mary Gilmore place Zora Cross among the key personalities of Australia's literary world in the early twentieth century.The Shelf Life of Zora Crossreveals the life of a neglected writer and intriguing person.

Not the most comfortable but nice chair.
Nice quality chair but it’s hard and uncomfortable. Hopefully I will wear it in.

Good quality, but hard
Color: Brown
The leather and metal seem to be of very good quality. My son bought this as his office/study chair. He is starting medical school and liked the professional look of this chair. He is 6’ tall and 200lb. There does not seem to be an issue with the chair rolling even with his weight. The chair is very ‘hard’ not that comfortable if you need to sit in it for long periods. Since my son needs to be staying awake to study, this will work for him as he won’t be able to get too comfortable and fall asleep.

Easy assembly and smooth movement
This chair has been a great addition to my home office. The assembly instructions are simple and easy to follow. The height adjusts smoothly, and the chair is very comfortable. I sit at my desk for about 9 hours a day, and this chair makes it easy to stay seated and work for long hours without discomfort. The cushioning and back support are solid. It spins well, and the wheels move smoothly. The build quality feels sturdy and reliable. Overall, a great value and a solid choice for anyone with a desk job. Highly recommend.
