Read Ebook Vagabondage, by Beth Spencer
In this playful verse memoir about a year spent living in a campervan, Australian writer Beth Spencer takes us on a journey into the pleasures and challenges of being in service to freedom. A poignant, sharp and funny meditation on belonging -- circling back and forth between family, relationships, memory and desire – her story tracks the often fine line between solitude and loneliness, the conflicting pull of what we possess and what possesses us, and the elusive idea of home. ‘I’d like to nominate Beth Spencer’s Vagabondage as my best read for 2014… I love this book... It’s beautiful, it’s funny, it’s sad, and it speaks to all of us who aim to age disgracefully.‘ — Suzanne Donisthorpe, Books & Arts Daily, ABC-RN ‘There are authors for whom writing functions as a form of truth-telling… We look to them for insight and intelligence and good humour, and a willingness to share – and Beth Spencer is one of them… Vagabondage is a short work that leaves you feeling you’ve read a much longer one... Plenty of story, and incident, as well as interiority and introspection... It’s a marvellous blend.’ — Angelo Loukakis, Author & Executive Director of the Australian Society of Authors ‘So much fun to read. Warm, witty and profound.’ – Claudia Taranto, ABC Radio National ‘Beth Spencer has a great eye and ear for detail, for small things with larger implications... A book to read and re-read, and re-inhabit.‘ — Philippa Hawker, Arts and Film writer for The Age ‘An unexpected gem…a memoir of moving spiritually and geographically, told in verse! Utterly unique, so Australian and such a beautiful work of art.’ — Walter Mason, My Favourite Books of 2014 ‘[A] memoir told in glimpses and moments…It seems a miracle, a revelation, that out of moments of disparate experience, emerges a whole tale.' – C S Hughes, Nerdalicious 'This lovely collection of poems is at times hilarious and poignant.' — Library & Computing News ‘My latest favourite read. Thank you...for delighting me, making me sad, making me think, and making me laugh, with this graceful, multi-layered verse memoir– succinct, rich, beautiful. I’ll be dipping in and out for years to come.’ – Dianne Touchell, author 'Beth Spencer's second poetry collection is … a kind of ‘road movie’... The book has plenty of humour,… deal[s] movingly with some important human issues… [and] generate[s] considerable forward momentum. “Warm, witty and profound,” as Claudia Taranto has noted on the front cover. ‘ – Geoff Page, The Age & The Sydney Morning Herald ‘Yesterday I sat under some tea trees at Kennett River reading Vagabondage and weeping. I love this book so much.' – Sian Prior (broadcaster, columnist and author of Shy: a memoir) ‘The journey and the book gives Spencer the space (and time) to consider important issues… [and] there is a humour that underlies the journey that turns its reading into an adventure… The photographs, too, tell a tale and are a great addition to the text.’ – Angela Gardner, Cordite Poetry Review ‘A terrific book.’ — Ron Pretty (poet, editor, OAM) ‘This is why we read poetry. We share feelings and we align briefly to see through each other’s eyes.… Good poetry is intimate and profound. By the end of it, you know a lot about the author. You have shared experiences and you have thought about yourself in new light. Beth’s collection does all of this and is a great pleasure to read.’ — Nick Falkner, This is Not Art This is Typing ‘Aiming to explore not only the idea of home but The Big Questions: love, family, the whole catastrophe… this slim volume displays Spencer’s talent for catching moments in time and transforming them...Verdict: Dreamy.’ – Susan Johnson, The Sunday Territorian ‘Nine gold stars and an elephant stamp. My only criticism is that it’s five hundred pages too short, but I will remedy that by re-reading and gleaning.’ — Frank Veldze (Scupltor)

At times joyful, often whimsical and always deep, Vagabondage describes Beth Spencer's year of living in a van, and what she gained and lost in the process. This is a rich but accessible verse memoir you'll dip into again and again. My favourite? 'Lost Woman Looks for Herself', about a woman who went missing from a tour bus (based on actual news). Vagabondage has the best of both worlds, the power of emotional storytelling coupled with the art of poetry. An absolute gem.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Unique Journey By C S Hughes Lyrical, moving, funny, poignant. It's joyfully surprising that a verse memoir can take you on a journey from being lost to finding something new, and extraordinary - home.
