KURACCA

Kuracca - meaning white sulphur crested cockatoo - is a multi-lingual anthology featuring eleven Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women writing poetry, prose, songs and stories about their unique lives. All contributors are members of Canberra's longest running Indigenous writers group called 'Us Mob Writing' and this book is dedicated to the late Wiradjuri Elder and award-winning writer, Kerry-Reed Gilbert. With a strong focus on inspiring people to write, the anthology includes both emerging and award-winning writers, a preface by Chairperson Us Mob Writing, Marissa McDowell and a foreword by Chairperson First Nations Australia Writers Network, Yvette Holt.
