Few regions on Earth inspire such raw, mythic storytelling as the vast and unforgiving landscape of Western Australia, and Wide Domain: Western Australian Themes & Images stands as a landmark collection that captures its spirit with extraordinary depth and range. Selected by Bruce Bennett and William Grono, this anthology gathers some of the most powerful literary voices to have wrestled with the Western Australian experience — its ancient red earth, its isolated communities, its Indigenous heritage, and its frontier mythology — presenting poetry, prose, and essays that collectively paint a portrait of a place unlike any other. The collection argues that Western Australia possesses a distinct cultural and literary identity, one shaped by geographic isolation, colonial history, and an enduring tension between human ambition and the indifferent grandeur of the natural world. Bennett and Grono curate with a scholar's precision and a poet's sensibility, drawing together works that illuminate both the social fabric and the inner lives of those who call this wide domain home. A rich and essential volume for anyone who believes that place is the truest character in any story, this anthology leaves the reader wondering how much of this land still remains unwritten.
