1 y separately published work icon Illuminations Illuminations : 19 Poems and 1 Story June Perkins , Herston : Gumbootspearlz Press , 2020 19621433 2020 selected work poetry short story

'Illuminations: 19 poems and 1 story, text by Dr June Perkins, black and white art, by Ruha and Minaira Fifita, captures the wonder of the act of creation, the burst of excitement associated with the birth of the new, and the challenges and sacrifice involved in bringing inspiration to fruition. Reflecting on the impact of the challenge of the new, in both the material and spiritual worlds, several of the poems refer to the advent of the Bab, the 19th century Prophetic figure, whose contemporary message inspired and challenged a sacrificial response on the part of those who embraced His Cause.'
