A Visionary Poem by the Celebrated Aboriginal Australian Writer Ali Cobby Eckermann
Ali Cobby Eckermann''s sparse, visionary poem follows the contours of an Australian landscape and dreamscape, accompanied by magpie and owl, sun and moon, as well as a daughter named Blessing. With a reciprocity between inner and outer realities, SHE IS THE EARTH tells a story of becoming, "a ritual made of self."
"Yankunytjatjara poet Ali Cobby Eckermann has described this verse novel as ''a poetic manifesto of inner truth,'' narrated by ''a creation without birth'' as they witness the world form around them. Beautifully metaphysical, it charts this journey of sound, light, rock and sea; we witness the creation of Country . . . SHE IS THE EARTH feels both dreamlike and visceral, the talented poet making a nebulous plane of existence feel miraculously tangible in less than a hundred pages."--Sian Cain, The Guardian
"SHE IS THE EARTH is redolent of First Nations'' musicality, reminding us of Northeast Arnhem Land Yolngu song cycles and Central Australian Inma . . . The dreamlike quality of her verse novel resonates in a musical cadence."--Julie Janson, Australian Book Review
