'This collection had its beginnings in the shame, sadness and disbelief that was felt by many after the result of the Voice referendum in 2023. The poems here passionately express those reactions and also unflinchingly explore some of the truths about Australia and its history that, if they had been more widely known, might have led to a different result. It is hoped that readers will find solace, inspiration and hope in the pages that follow.' (Publication summary)
