Gawimarra: Gathering
Gawimarra: Gathering | Jeanine Leane
4 posts | 1 reading
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.

Chrissyreadit Wow. Everyday is a challenge. I am angry and heartbroken to discover the blatant, willful ignorance of so many people in this country. I always thought people could and would step up to do what is right. But that is not even close to what is happening in this country. 3d

Chrissyreadit @Lauredhel I am always thinking about the devestation of Native/Aboriginal lands from colonization and the parallel of what is happening now. We are still woefully ignorant to anyone who is not a privileged white male. Thankyou for clarifying the location- i could not help but see it as a sign of today. 3d
Lauredhel @Chrissyreadit We're definitely in the slowpocalypse. And the American political situation will only accelerate it. I just hope Australia doesn't go hard right in our upcoming Federal election, but I'm trying to be realistic about it. 2d
