Poetry

"Inland Sea is a work which addresses, close up, the intricate wonder, the fragility and adaptation of the unique Australian environment. It speaks to the enduring strength of our Aboriginal culture and of the people bound to protect 'Country' against the continuing threats of colonial exploitation.

'There is a lyrical and quiet formality to Brenda Saunders that is self-assured and celebratory of First Nations pride. This is poetry as ""stillness, as a grassy ring holding the world in place"". But it also has the power to ""blow raw dust into a heaving sky"". This is poetry as ""first music, singing an ancient land"", singing irreplaceable joy!' - Phillip Hall"
