Paperback large trade, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), card covers, full-page black & white drawings, minor edgewear, copy 2. 77 pp. In his second collection of poems, based on the Aboriginal form of the manikay or song cycle, Colin Johnson (Mudrooroo Narogin) adapts the story of Dalwurra, the black bi…ttern (a small bird sacred to Aborigines), to his own experience. He tells the story of his journey that leads from Perth in Western Australia to Singapore, then to India and finally to Scotland and England, to the Commonwealth Writer's Conference in Edinburgh - and then to London at the time of the Brixton riots. The return to Western Australia is not only a return to his own country but to full possession of his Aboriginal inheritance, a return which this poem celebrates. (1 of 2 available copies.).
