Description:Peter Gebhardt's poems lie at the controversial intersection of poetry, history, politics and spirituality. They confront issues of invasion and dispossession, of brutality and genocide, that underlie relations between white and indigenous Australians over the last two hundred years. Part advocate, part poet - what Torres Strait Islanders call a 'speech fighter' - Peter Gebhardt graphically 'names the shame' in poems that pit the oral tradition of indigenous Australians against those who deny the ugliness of colonisation. Disturbing images of death, massacre and murder, in an ancient and of star beauty, challenge the reader to confront and recognise what Aboriginal leader Pat Dodson in his foreword calls the story dispossession, disaster and dispair that engulfed indigenous communities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
