Since he relishes his private life—as much as he does his family and friends, travel, good food, well-crafted writing and chess—these poems have seldom been shared with the outside world. A small collection was initially pulled together for the Creative Writing Group, Darwin, but quite a few pieces have been added since then. The author is an adjunct professor at Charles Darwin University. For many years his professional work has focused on bilingual education, the Living Archive of Aboriginal Languages, and remote, rural schooling in the Asia-Pacific area. He and his family have been affiliated with the Yolu people in northeast Arnhem Land ever since he was adopted into the Gumatj clan by a distinguished elder in 1979.view less
