Gawimarra: gathering

A stunning work of poetry from an award-winning First Nations writer, seamlessly weaving the personal and the political.

This superb collection moves from deeply tender meditations on Country, culture and kinship, to experimental archival poems dissecting the violence and destruction of the settler-colony. Jeanine Leane's poems are richly palpable in texture, imagery and language, layering the personal with the political, along with a sharp-tongued telling of history. Cleverly divided into three parts, 'Gathering', 'Nation' and 'Returning', Gawimarra weaves back and forth in a dedication to strong matriarchs, and the core acts of gathering and returning - memory, language, history - resonate powerfully throughout. This remarkable book is the result of decades of poetic, political, and cultural work and reflection.
