AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In early 1990, I thought I'd try and get an anthology of poems going and asked some of my friends and family to contribute, and what you read in this anthology is a culmination of all the gathering I did. There's 134 poems, 23 contributors, males and females, so here it is. Read and enjoy our voices. There are poems of love, hate, anger, dreaming, land, culture, animals, philosophy, respect, missionaries, colonisers, survival, politics, caring, life, death and hope.' (Source: back cover)
