Words to sing the world alive: Celebrating First Nations languages, edited by Jasmine McGaughey, celebrates First Nations languages from across the continent.
Forty First Nation writers and thinkers, journalists and lawyers, artists and astronomers have come together to reveal their favourite and significant words. Words that evoke the power of childhood and the wonder of Country; that explore the essence of mother, of fire, of time. Words that are imbued with family and belonging, and that surprise with their connections.
Contributors include some of the most respected voices in contemporary First Nations literature and thought, such as Kim Scott, Tara June Winch, Daniel Browning, Terri Janke, Jeanine Leane, Nardi Simpson, Dan Bourchier, Ellen van Neerven, Alice Skye, Bruce Pascoe, Anita Heiss, Thomas Mayo, Evelyn Araluen, Claire G. Coleman, and Mykaela Saunders.
