Tributes to country, to her elders, and to the animals and spirits that inhabit the landscape, coupled with the rhythms of mourning and celebration that pulse through the poems, make this a moving and personal collection. Grief is deeply felt and vividly portrayed in poems such as 'Inside My Mother' and 'Lament'. There is defiance and protest in 'Clapsticks' and 'I Tell You True'. In the final section there is a marked generational shift as the elders begin to pass away and the poet as grandmother comes to accept her rightful place as matriarch.

Descended from the Yankunytjatjara language group, Ali Cobby Eckermann was born in 1963, in the Kate Cocks Memorial Babies’ Home in Brighton South Australia. Run by the Methodist Church from 1954 to 1976, it was an institution for single mothers and their babies, and for children deemed to be in need of care and protection. In 2011, the Kate Cocks Home was one of those included in the Uniting Church Apology to mothers who were forced to give up their children for adoption. Ali Cobby Eckerman was one of those children: taken from her mother, adopted out, and not reunited with her mother, Yankunytjatjara woman Audrey Cobby, until three decades later.
