These poems are her gift! In this collection the poems resonate her warrior spirit, and the spirit of Aboriginal Country, as was her wish. Ali Cobby Eckermann, Nunga poet and writer Publisher Description Much of Lisa Bellears poetry is politics made eloquent. In Aboriginal Country many poems seem to spark with frustrated energy over Australias political crossed circuits regarding a treaty with our First Nations peoples - as promised by Prime Minister Hawke in 1988. Reading the title poem for the first time I was struck by its power. We are on Aboriginal Country in Australia. With subtle barbs she wakes us as to how the ownership (via naming rights) of Australian public lands and monuments lauds absent white English royalty and intrepid god fearing discoverers. Yet in her closing lines the poet transforms this potential for bitterness into a moment of hushed respect for country. - Jen Jewel Brown, EditorI am one of many Australians who never met Lisa Bellear, yet was shocked by her unexpected and tragic passing.

Her sudden departure was a great shock to all who knew her, but she lives on in our memories because her poems and photographs are the powerful legacy she left us. - Dr Gary Foley, Associate Professor in History, Moondani Balluk, Victoria UniversityThe emphatic, committed voice of this remarkable Goernpil woman, feminist, poet, photographer, and activist shines through. - John Kinsella, Australian Book Review - Books of the Year 2018 Details ISBN 1742589758 ISBN-13 9781742589756 Title Aboriginal Country Author Lisa Bellear Format Paperback Year 2018 Pages 100 Publisher UWA Publishing GE_Item_ID:118129824; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
