History; Political control & freedoms

Stan Grant is talking to his country in a new way. In his most poetic and inspiring work yet, he offers a means of moving beyond the binaries and embracing a path to peace and forgiveness, rooted in the Wiradjuri spiritual practice of Yindyamarra – deep silence and respect.

Murriyang, in part Grant’s response to the Voice referendum, eschews politics for love. In this gorgeous, grace-filled book, he zooms out to reflect on the biggest questions, ranging across the history, literature, theology, music and art that has shaped him. Setting aside anger for kindness, he reaches past the secular to the sacred and transcendent.

Informed by spiritual thinkers from around the world, Murriyang is a Wiradjuri prayer in one long uninterrupted breath, challenging Western notions of linear time in favour of a time beyond time – the Dreaming.

Murriyang is also very personal, each meditation interleaved with a memory of Grant’s father, a Wiradjuri cultural leader. It asks how any of us can say goodbye to those we love.

This is a book for our current moment, and something for the ages.

Reviews for Murriyang: Song of Time

‘heartfelt and vulnerable … Murriyang is one of the first books to address the wounds of post–Voice referendum Australia, making it a meaningful read for those reflecting on recent events. Grant implores readers to leave chaos behind, pause, contemplate and seek peace. * <B>Books + Publishing</B> *
