A collection of poems by a Charles Sturt University (CSU) education graduate to be launched this week provides a glimpse of life, journey and death in regional Australia. Ghostology, an anthology of works from 1990 to 2009 by Mr Craig Dent, showcases poetry and photography from Mr Dent's residencies, publications, exhibitions and music projects, with several funded by the Australia Council.The book will be officially launched at CSU in Albury-Wodonga on Thursday 10 March by the Head of Campus, Ms Julie Cleary. It will be available in print and in electronic-book format at the launch.During the opening, CSU education student Laura Vogel will perform a poem, 'Joy of a Million Suns', from Ghostology, which highlights a journey within family. The poem is dedicated to Mr Dent's sister and is based on their upbringing in Thurgoona which was a rural area before Albury grew to include the modern suburb of Thurgoona.Raised in Thurgoona, Mr Dent has worked in regional creative industries since 1990 in Albury, Dubbo, Southern Riverina and North East Victoria, as well as Canberra. He majored in English in his CSU teaching degree from which he graduated last year, and compiled Ghostology while completing his course.Mr Dent is now assisting high schools in the Southern Riverina and North East Victoria to provide advanced education in creative writing to their students. He uses Ghostology to inspire students to reach their greatest potentials in writing for their senior studies.
