'‘To speak the name of the dead / is to make them live again.’ This ancient Egyptian wisdom is quoted in Dorothy’s Porter’s first published verse novel Akhenaten (1992). Josie McSkimming, the Australian poet’s youngest sister, begins Gutsy Girls, her memoir about her famous sibling, with this epithet and proceeds to bring her sister back to vivid life by invoking her many names.' (Introduction)
