Book of the Week
In the name of the trees, I retrieve you from hurt and sickness.
In a Philippine ritual of retrieval, Lola Narra tries to heal her granddaughter Dao who was paralysed in an accident that killed her father. They live in Canberra, far from the healing trees of their first home in the village of Iláwod where the story began. But between the Philippines and Australia, the land knows, the trees know: wound on wound on wound—lugad sa lugad sa lugad. Such is the colonial inheritance of four generations of Filipinas named after trees: Banaba, Narra, Pili and Dao. Their rifts are deep, their heartbreaks more wounding. They tell stories to hide, evade, or make truth bearable. But trees remember. They do not lie.

Statement from Spinifex Press
#WeStandWithUshaAkella
Men’s rights are alive and well in India.
We have been subject to a mass outpouring from Men’s Rights Activists who have targeted Usha Akella’s book I Will Not Bear You Sons and placing one star reviews on the Amazon India website and other sites in protest of its publication.
MRAs have taken exception to a line quoted in online book reviews (regarding aborting male fetuses) and have not looked at the poem in its full context. If they had looked at the context, it is the speaking character answering her tyrannical father-in-law who wants the speaker to have only sons.
Usha’s poetry is brave and brilliant. We stand behind this book and trust you will too.
