She Is the Earth

A Visionary Poem by the Celebrated Aboriginal Australian Writer Ali Cobby Eckermann Ali Cobby Eckermann's sparse, visionary poem follows the contours of an Australian landscape and dreamscape, accompanied by magpie and owl, sun and moon, as well as a daughter named Blessing. With a reciprocity between inner and outer realities, She Is the Earth tells a story of becoming, "a ritual made of self."
