Thanks, Gavin. Yes, poetry has come to my rescue, I guess, along with my hound. I felt so adrift when I had my breakdown & was deemed unfit for a return to work. My poetry took off at just the right time. I have been very lucky. Thanks for watching.
@@apoetreadstowrite it is wonderful to have it out there. It is moving fast. In September I will return to my desk and begin assembling my next collection.
I've always been a fresh water person too, you can't beat mountains and waterfalls. Learning so much from you, thank you. Your use of superlatives, anthropomorphism and strong verbs is beautiful to hear. This collection is a service to your nation, and a testament of your craftsmanship. xoxo
Borroloola is a very small town of around 800 First Australians. It has a small general grocery store and 2 or 3 takeaways, a fuel stop, & that's about it.
The reading is passionate and the poetry evocative. Nice work.

Your passion for words and the First Nation People of the bush is enchanting, Phillip.
The Sea Turtles returning , to the singing of the community is a very visceral scene. What a wonderful bowl of life. 🎉
@@artistikworld4058: Yes, I was so lucky to be welcomed into Country & Culture. It was an astounding 5 years. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, Margaret. Really glad you enjoyed it.
How's the new book going? Hope it's a booming success!

Thanks for such a generous & positive response to my work. I appreciate your intelligent care.
The Northern Territory town that I refer to in this video is called Borroloola, & is located on Yanyuwa Country, in Australia's far tropical north.
