Author Description

An impressive collection of the poetry, artwork, and prose of thirty-six contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers and artists.... The world views and the expression of the contributors are compelling.... It is an exploration of 'the dreaming' that organizes the text, in the sense that individual and kinship relationships to the origin stories of 'dreamtime' inform both a resistance to the genocidal heritage of Australian colonization as well as a unique focus for indigenous identity.
