Stunning debut from a queer Gamilaroi poet about the beauty of birth, regeneration and transformation. Interconnected stories across two parts; river and blood show the resonance and connections between the body and country. The author s work as a midwife informs much of the poetry, meditating on the witnessing of birth as a shared experience and the raising of children as a sacred act.
Lulu is a Gamilaroi poet, nurse and midwife living with/on Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country. Lulu's work explores invisibility, memory and liminality. Lulu's work was shortlisted for the David Unaipon award in both 2023 and 2024 and she was a black&write! fellowship award winner in 2024.
