Rivers Flow
Reflections on the Songs of Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter
Curated and introduced by two-time Miles Franklin winner, Noongar man Kim Scott, this special volume brings together 23 First Nations writers to share stories and poems that resonate with the legacy of two beloved singer-songwriters.
With a foreword by Amos Roach, Rivers Flow honours the profound musical and cultural legacy of Archie Roach AC AM - a Gunditjmara, Kirrae Whurrong / Djab Wurrung and Bundjalung man - and Ruby Hunter - a Ngarrindjeri, Kokatha and Pitjantjatjara woman.
Edited by Casey Mulder and with the support and blessing of Amos and Eban Roach, sons of Archie and Ruby, this anthology stands as a tribute to the strength, artistry and enduring spirit of two of Australia's most cherished musicians and cultural leaders.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
