    About this ebook

    Brave, haunting, and evocative, this powerful volume presents its poetry in the form of a memoir. From the poet’s early experiences in an institution and the effect of this on her family to the illustration of her strength and independence as an adult, this biographical collection helps make the Aboriginal experience accessible and resonant. Exploring themes of art, identity, sexuality, and loneliness, this compendium is both universal and intimate.

      Once Was, but Now

      Nov 1, 2019

      How long I have been lying here in my own filth? I cannot remember how many times, if at all, I have called for help. I do not know what time it is, what day or year even. I want to go home but someone else lives there now and would not let me in. As
