Body/Landscape Journals by Margaret Somerville ebook (PDF)

A$17.99

Margaret Somerville

Reading Body/Landscape Journals is like falling through a faultline, as we respond to poesis, both as poetry and as thought creation. From Pine Gap Women’s Peace Camp and interactions with women across Australia, Margaret Somerville conjures up the landscape inhabited by both Indigenous and white women in the places they call home: the mountains, the desert, the tropics.

Reviews

‘Somerville’s lyrical descriptions of the landscape, her daily life and the women she meets are enticing...’ 

—Terry Lane, The Age

‘Addressing gender and race, national and personal histories, in culturally specific times and places, is a project of immense importance, and creatively reflecting on the ways in which these can be written is an integral part of that project. Somerville is to be congratulated on both counts.’ 

—Alison Bartlett, Meanjin

‘This book calls into question the premises of anthropology, cartography, history, autobiography and biography.’

—Susan Hampton
