As the world continues it’s distracted race, in one of its corners, a multi-millennial culture, the oldest among many, is slowly fading: the Aboriginal culture. Due to the colonisation of their land and the neighbouring genocides, many of them live in resignation, often in extreme conditions where alcohol, drugs, and violence are commonplace. But the last word has not yet been spoken.

This book collects poems, fleeting portraits, the testimony of those who are still there, of those who still manage to move forward with strength, to smile, to tell stories as ancient as the dawn of time, to fight for their rights, to have a dream that can change the game. Indelible moments, crystallised in some verse, where in a low voice one can hear a silent cry of hope and the assertion of a new life in balance between innovation and nature.

An ode to human fragility, a launching pad for the bravest souls.

The social snapshot refers to a small remote community in northwest Australia: Broome, the small great jewel of the Kimberley.
