— Appears in: Journal of Australian Indigenous Issues , December vol. 20 no. 4 2017; 'This paper presents four poems collaboratively developed and performed at an intensive research-writing workshop held by members of the Health Node of the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network (NIRAKN). The workshop encouraged participants to develop scholarly publications through collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers who worked together through mutual respect and a range of creative writing processes. The poem-writing practice was a positive, stimulating experience for participants. It demonstrated the value of using creative practice as part of scholarly research. The poetry writing helped to explore participants' underlying views about research, kick-started the writing process, and supported Indigenous, collaborative, non-competitive approaches to research.'

'Dr Adams' journey through the academic mist started way back in 1976 when he enrolled in the Aboriginal Task Force with the South Australia Institute of Technology (SAIT). The introduction to the processes of academia was through an interview in the stairwell exit of the old Darwin post office. This book is about courage and determination and how the author turned his life around to become a respected leader in his own right. It is an inspirational story laced with humour, raw emotion and spirit. It's about the accidental journey of an angry young man from Darwin who got into pub fights at the drop of a hat and who eventually found himself in Adelaide studying social work'.
