Oodgeroo

Immerse yourself in the poetry of one of Australia's foremost Indigenous artists. My People is a compilation of the poetry of Oodgeroo, of the tribe Noonuccal, Custodian of the land Minjerribah. This collection of captivating poetry detailing the struggle of Australia's Indigenous peoples is more relevant today than ever before. While she passed away in 1993, Oodgeroo remains one of Australia's most influential Aboriginal poets. Her poetry leaves little room to argue why that shouldn't be the case. Razor-sharp and incisive, while simultaneously haunting and beautiful, Oodgeroo's poems will enchant both young and old alike
