Spirit Song: A Collection of Aboriginal Poetry

3.7/5 ( ratings)

In this collection of contemporary poems for children, thirty-five Aboriginal poets write about what it means to be Aboriginal today.

Many of the poems reflect the anger, despair, and determination of a people dispossessed of their land and denied justice. Some poets recall the spirituality and culture of their ancestors. Still others look with hope to the future.

Hard hitting or tough, sad or nostalgic, warm or funny---all of these poems reveal that two hundred tears of detribalisation, protectionism, assimilation and integration have not dimmed the Aboriginal spirit.

Language: English

Pages: 78

Format: Paperback

Publisher: Omnibus Books
