AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Guwayu – For All Times is a poetry collection carefully woven by Wiradjuri writer and academic Dr Jeanine Leane. It evolved from a series of commissioning projects undertaken by Red Room Poetry over the course of sixteen years. Guwayu, a Wiradjuri word that that can be interpreted as all times are inseparable, captures the fluidity of the work, a collection that refuses to be fixed or tied down. Leane’s weaving symbolic of other Blak anthologies reverses the white gaze by following community-controlled editorial protocols.' (Introduction)

     Beyond your stage

    the audience murmurs

    men and women weep

    and silk their skin bare,

    for here and gone and taken – Evelyn Araluen, ‘KI_ Yellowmundee’
