MINYUNG WOOLAH BINNUNG What Saying Says Poems and Drawings by Lionel Fogarty

Category
Description

Murri poet Lionel Fogarty is one of the most challenging Indigenous writers – one of the most “”unassimilated”” to Western standards in both style and content. For the first time readers see his voice expressed not only through writing, but through his art as well. Lionel’s drawings are unique in their infusion of 20th century avant-garde elements and Indigenous Australian symbolism, producing spirit figures of a futuristic Dreaming that compliment the poet’s call for a powerful and Independent Indigenous identity. This is Lionel seventh book of poetry. He has traveled the world and performed his poems in places as diverse as Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, Columbia, New York, South Dakota, East Timor and Malaysia, and has had poems published in several languages including Spanish, French, German and Dutch.
